Hopes of a lull on the trade front are maintaining risk appetite in Europe this weekend and should allow Wall-Street to continue its catch-up movement. The S&P500 index, which finished on a gain of 0.65% to 2887 points yesterday, is indeed expected to rise by 0.6%.

As for statistics, traders are expecting the Core PCE index and household spending and income at 14:30. At 3:45 p.m., the Chicago PMI index will be unveiled and then at 4 p.m., the Michigan confidence index.

Graphically, the American index should today test the resistance zone of 2944 points, corresponding to a first major rebound objective. The reaction of the index to this level should be decisive. Its crossing would release a new potential for appreciation towards 2975 points and then 3000 points.
If this fails, we could see some profit taking, with a return on the 2894/2887 points.
