Dow Jones (DJIA) Technical: Poised for a potential bullish breakout as US CPI looms
Since Fed Chair Powell’s dovish pivot at Jackson Hole on 22 Aug, the Dow Jones has lagged peers, slipping 0.3% while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 hit fresh record highs and the Russell 2000 gained 0.7%. Markets now fully price a 25 bps Fed rate cut on 17 Sep, with high odds of two more cuts by year-end. The Dow’s technical setup shows bullish consolidation, with key support at 45,290/45,175 and resistance at 45,780 (upside trigger level) for 46,060/46,180 and 46,365/46,400.

The ECB is unlikely to change rates in the near future
ECB likely to hold rates at a 2% deposit; markets price no move. Inflation is nearer target and expectations ticked up to 2.5%, so the path may be revised slightly higher on energy. Activity is improving—composite PMI 51.0 and manufacturing above 50—signaling modest recovery. Q3 GDP may be nudged up; core inflation still converging to 2%. Baseline: keep policy on hold this year while monitoring data.
