DAX (German Index GDAXI) – SELL – 18th FEB (Closed)
Good afternoon Forex Kings
All trades are currently running into a profit, I feel we are positioned well for the week ahead.
We are now looking at the Index market as corporations are now coming out cutting growth forecasts due to the coronavirus.
Apple has already said they will not meet Q1 earnings due to decreased supply/demand in the current market.
HSBC has now cut its 2020 forecasts as well due to corona virus, they are also expecting a large amount of job cuts as the bank is preparing for a major overhaul.
Is this the start of major corporations cutting growth forecasts?
We see the German index (DAX) as an opportunity to sell.
