Dow eases back after fresh record

The Dow Jones index has dropped back after holding at a record high above 42,000 for the past two days.

The late August high at 41,586 would be the first target in the event of a short-term pullback, while below this is the July high at 41,382. Below the latter comes trendline support from the early August low.

DAX surges on news of China spending

Reports of yet more China stimulus have pushed the DAX 40 to new highs. This continues the bounce from the lows of early September, while trendline support from the August low remains in place.

It would need a close back below 18,700 to break trendline support and suggest some additional weakness is likely.

Short-term weakness may develop with a close back below 19,000.
