What is the expectation on the AEX?
The expectation remains positive, but our algorithmic system has lowered the price target from 1,050 to 1,035.
For the short term, our algorithm's most likely scenario is that the AEX will set a new record above 968. A close below 952 will allow the index to correct further to around 940 before continuing to rise to the 1,035 price target.
Below 880, the positive scenario expires and the AEX enters a neutral zone with an increased risk of further decline. As long as 880 holds, the positive scenario remains in place.
