Euro zone shares extend rally on growth data
European flag flying in front of the European Commission building in Brussels
* Euro zone exits recession, Germany, France beat GDP forecasts * ESTOXX 50 up nearly twice as much as S& P500 in past seven weeks * France's CAC 40 hits two-year high By Blaise Robinson PARIS, Aug 14 (Reuters) - European stocks edged higher around midday on Wednesday as data showing the euro zone emerged from recession in the second quarter kept a seven-week rally alive. Gains were capped by shares in Rio Tinto, AstraZeneca and Royal Dutch Shell losing their dividend entitlement. The euro zone growth spurt was led by the German and French economies, which both performed better than expected. At 1020 GMT, the FTSEurofirst 300 index of top European shares was up 0.2 percent at 1,239.63 points, gaining ground for the fifth session in a row and extending its gains since late June to 12 percent. France's blue-chip CAC 40 index hit a two-year high. Switzerland's biggest life insurer Swiss Life rose 2.5 percent after net profit jumped. German steelmaker ThyssenKrupp fell 1.5 percent after saying its finances weakened in the latest quarter. STILL PLAYING CATCH-UP? " There are signs of improvement in Europe while the region's equities remain cheap no matter which valuation metric you use, which is not justified anymore," said Jeanne Asseraf-Bitton, head of global cross asset research at Lyxor Asset Management, which has $94 billion euros under management. " The 'great rotation' out of fixed income and into stocks is well under way in the United States, but is just starting in Europe, and there's good potential for a catch-up rally." The euro zone's blue-chip Euro STOXX 50 index was up 0.2 percent at 2,845.96 points. The index has surged 14 percent since late June, outpacing Wall Street's S& P 500 which is up 8.6 percent over the same period, and is now just a few points below a peak hit in May, above which the index would reach 2011 levels. Tracy Knudsen, senior vice-president at technical analysis firm Lowry Research, said there looked to be room for more gains. " There is a lack of evidence suggesting it has reached an important top. The probabilities appear to favour an eventual upside breakout above the May highs," she said, adding that a pull-back in the short term would be a good buying opportunity. Around Europe, France's CAC 40 was up 0.4 percent, while Germany's DAX index was up 0.2 percent and UK's FTSE 100 index was flat, with profit-taking in the mining sector. The STOXX Europe 600 basic resources sector index - which has jumped more than 10 percent in the past week following reassuring data from China - was down 0.4 percent. |

Wall Street dips modestly, but Apple extends rally
Times Square, New York
  * Apple shares continue to climb after Icahn tweet   * Deere shares turn lower after results, Macy's drops   * Indexes down: Dow 0.3 pct, S& P 0.1 pct, Nasdaq 0.1 pct   By Ryan Vlastelica   NEW YORK, Aug 14 (Reuters) - U.S. stocks were slightly lower on Wednesday as investors found few reasons to make big bets, with equities near all-time highs and little clarity over Federal Reserve policy.   Apple Inc was one of the biggest gainers of the day, rising 1.7 percent to $498.28 to extend a rally that began Tuesday after activist investor Carl Icahn tweeted that he had built a " large position" in the tech company. However, those gains didn't translate to a broader advance.   Wall Street has struggled for direction recently, with the S& P 500 trading in a narrow range over the past month. During that period, the index has only closed once with a move greater than 1 percent.   Trading volume has been among the lowest of the year, as earnings season winds down and economic indicators present a mixed view of economic growth. Currently, the S& P is less than 1 percent away from its all-time high.   On Tuesday, Atlanta Fed President Dennis Lockhart said the U.S. central bank could begin to slow its quantitative easing (QE) stimulus as early as next month, though data has been too mixed to outline a detailed exit strategy.   " Investors are still trying to assess the Fed and what it will do next, leaving us to bounce around on a daily basis but essentially go nowhere," said Paul Nolte, managing director at Dearborn Partners in Chicago. " Things should be quiet until we get more clarity on that end.   Equities have been tethered to Fed policy for much of the year, and many investors are worried that economic growth may lose momentum without the Fed's bond-buying intervention. Many traders are awaiting clarity on when the program could begin to slow before adjusting positions.   Producer prices were flat in July, below expectations for a 0.3 percent increase. The data could add to worries at the Fed that inflation is too low, but stocks were little impacted by the news.   The Dow Jones industrial average was down 50.10 points, or 0.32 percent, at 15,400.91. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index was down 2.14 points, or 0.13 percent, at 1,692.02. The Nasdaq Composite Index was down 3.79 points, or 0.10 percent, at 3,680.66.   Stocks have trended lower recently, with the S& P down for five of the past seven sessions. For the year, it remains up almost 19 percent.   Cisco Systems weighed on the Dow, falling 1 percent to $26.06. The company is scheduled to report its quarterly results after the market closes.   Deere & Co fell 1.3 percent to $82.92, even as its third-quarter earnings and sales beat expectations. The stock had advanced in premarket trading.   Shares of Macy's Inc fell 3.8 percent to $46.65 after the company reported its results and cut its full-year profit outlook.   Steinway Musical Instruments Inc jumped 5.6 percent to $40.43 after it agreed to be taken private by Paulson & Co for $40 a share.   Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co rose 1.7 percent to $19.54 a day after the company said one of its largest investors had raised its stake in the company by 44 percent.   European shares rose 0.4 percent, extending a seven-week rally after data showed France pulled out of recession in the second quarter, while Germany posted its largest expansion in more than a year. |

Singapore lose 2-0 to Oman in Asian Cup qualifierLions still winless and goalless after their first two Group A matches
By Hiranand Sunny
SINGAPORE ? Singapore?s first international match under new coach Bernd Stange ended in defeat today (Aug 14) after they lost 2-0 to Oman in an Asian Cup qualifier at the Jalan Besar Stadium. The Lions started the game well and treated the Jalan Besar crowd to a good display of Stange?s passing brand of football. But Oman took the lead in the 15th minute after a neat attacking move resulted in a shot being placed beyond the reach of LionsXII goalkeeper Izwan Mahbud. Qiu Li had a golden opportunity to level the scores in the 29th minute but his free-kick on the edge of the area went inches wide. That miss proved to be costly as Oman doubled their lead on the stroke of half-time with a perfectly-placed shot from long range. The visitors dominated proceedings in a dull second half and had several more opportunities to extend their lead. Fortunately for the Lions, the visitors were denied by a combination of poor finishing and good defending. The biggest cheers of the night were reserved for 17-year-old striker Adam Swandi, who came on just before the hour mark to replace Balestier Khalsa forward Qiu Li. Singapore have now lost both their Group A encounters and have yet to score a goal. Their next Asian Cup qualifier will be against Syria at the Jalan Besar Stadium on Oct 15. |

Doji candlestick patternsBefore reading this lesson you should have previously read through: appear when the prices of an are virtually the same. They can therefore be recognised by their much shorter body than typical . Doji candlesticks occur when the opening and closing price of an asset are roughly the same. They indicate that markets are indecisive.
They indicate that is indecisive, with a relatively even balance of (buyers) and (sellers) unable to push decisively in one . Depending on their type, they can help you recognise when a price move or may be slowing down and when a price might course. This can help you exit a trade before a trend is coming to an end or enter into a new trend as it starts. Stars, long legs, gravestones and dragonfliesThe names of the four doji candlesticks ? star, long legged, gravestone and dragonfly ? describe their shape.
There are four types of doji candlestick:
Their names describe their appearance, as shown on the diagrams below. They are all similar in that the opening and closing prices are the same. However, the position and length of the candlestick's wicks are different for each. Star dojiThe standard doji candlestick, seen to the right, has two short wicks that are of a similar length both up and down. It appears when the candle has opened and closed at the same level and has moved in a very small range in between. It indicates extreme indecision in the market and a lack of commitment from traders. If other suggest that prices are or , it can mean a price reversal is imminent. Long legged dojiThe long legged doji, seen to the right, has long upper and lower wicks and appears when the price has moved up and down dramatically before the candle closed at the same level as it opened. It also indicates indecision between bulls and bears but suggests that are becoming more active and that a volatile price move may soon occur. Gravestone dojiThe gravestone doji, seen to the right, has a long upper wick and appears when a candle's open and close occur at the low end of its trading range. It indicates that a current may be coming to an end with the price about to reverse downward. Dragonfly dojiThe dragonfly doji, seen to the right, has a long lower wick and appears when a candle's open and close occur at the high end of its trading range. It indicates that a current may be coming to an end with the price about to reverse upwards. Best in trending marketsDoji candlesticks are best used in trending markets. They can be unreliable in ranging markets.
Because they alert you to the slowdown in a price move or a possible reversal, doji candlestick patterns work best when markets are trending. They can be unreliable in markets. This is because markets are naturally full of indecision during these times and price moves are small, making it harder to recognise when a doji candlestick is giving a valid signal by appearing. You can apply what you have learnt about the different types of Doji's in the exercises below: Exercise 1: Where is the Doji pattern in the following chart? Show exercise
Using what you have learnt about Doji patterns where on the chart is the Doji? Solution Show solution

You can see from the chart that as the star doji forms at the price begins to reverse before moving lower, shown in . Exercise 4: What is the doji pattern telling you? Show exercise
The doji in is a gravestone doji. What is this potentially telling us with regard to the price? Solution Show solution

Trend LinesA trend line (shortened to " trendline" elsewhere on this website) is simply a momentum indicator. It measures the rate of increase in the share price over time and alerts you to any acceleration or deceleration of the trend. The difference between trendlines and other momentum indicators is that you use a super-computer (the human brain) to visually identify the trend, rather than a simplistic formula calculated on your PC. Trend Line Basics
Support and ResistanceTrendlines do not predict levels of support and resistance. Support and resistance run horizontally not at an angle. For an explanation of the basics, see Support and Resistance. Many traders confuse the two concepts: the lower line in a trend channel is often referred to as the supporting trendline. Highs or LowsOn a short-term chart (6 months or less), draw trendlines through the lows during an up-trend.
Closing PriceOn a long-term chart, trendlines drawn with closing price are more effective.
Log or Normal Scale?There has been much debate on the Chart Forum over the years as to whether trendlines should be drawn on log scale or normal scale charts. The case for log scale has been summarized by Alsoran as:
The case for normal scale (linear) trendlines:
In my opinion the two sides are talking about different time frames! Normal ScaleNormal scale charts compare price against time. You would graph the speed of a car in a similar manner: distance (y) over time (x). If a car travels at a constant velocity, the graph will be a straight line. If stopped, the line will be horizontal. If accelerating, the graph will show a curve. Log ScaleLog charts are not designed to measure velocity, they measure acceleration: the rate of growth in stock prices. A constant velocity will be depicted as a flattening curve a constant rate of growth (acceleration) will be depicted as a straight line. Short TermIn the short/medium term we focus on velocity: " Is this week's price increase as good as last week?" The time period is too short to be concerned with compound growth rates. Long TermMost institutions hold stocks for the long-term and do not concern themselves with short-term fluctuations. They want to know the annual compound growth rate a very different concept from short-term velocity. What Chart Scale Should I Use?

Support and ResistanceSupport and resistance form the foundation of most chart patterns. SupportA support level is the price at which buyers are expected to enter the market in sufficient numbers to take control from sellers. The market has a memory. When price falls to a new Low and then rallies, buyers who missed out on the first trough will be inclined to buy if price returns to that level. Afraid of missing out for a second time, they may enter the market in sufficient numbers to take control from sellers. The result is a rally, reinforcing perceptions that price is unlikely to fall further and creating a support level.
ResistanceA resistance level is the price level at which sellers are expected to enter the market in sufficient numbers to take control from buyers. When price makes a new High and then retreats, sellers who missed the previous peak will be inclined to sell when price returns to that level. Afraid of missing out a second time, they may enter the market in numbers sufficient to overwhelm buyers. The resulting correction will reinforce market perceptions that price is unlikely to move higher and establish a resistance level.
Role ReversalSupport levels, once penetrated, frequently become resistance levels and vice versa. The market logic is fairly simple: buyers who purchase near a support level, only to see price fall, are likely to sell in order to recover their losses, when price rallies to near their break-even point. The support level then becomes a resistance level.
Strength of Support/ResistanceSome support and resistance levels are more important than others. The significance of the support level is identifiable by:

Gaps Gaps occur when the lowest price traded is above the high of the previous day or, conversely, when the highest price traded is below the previous day's low.
Equivolume charts highlight the interaction of price and volume. Common Gaps
Breakaway Gaps
Trading RulesUpside Breakaway If the gap is accompanied by heavy volume, go long and place a stop-loss at the lower end of the gap. Downside Breakaway If the gap is accompanied by heavy volume, go short and place a stop-loss at the upper end of the gap. Continuation Gaps
Trading RulesIf volume is strong (up at least 50%), trade as for breakaway gaps. Enter the trade early and wait for new highs (or new lows in a down-trend) to confirm the pattern. If there are none in the next few days then exit immediately ? it could be an exhaustion gap. Exhaustion Gaps
Trading RulesUpward Exhaustion Gap Sell short (or close your long position) and protect yourself with a stop above the last high. Downward Exhaustion Gap Go long (or close your short position) with a stop below the latest low point. Island Clusters
Trading RulesTrade in the same way as exhaustion gaps. |

German, French growth should help euro zone exit recession
* German, French GDP beats expectations in Q2
  * First euro zone growth in seven quarters likely   * Uneven rebound, periphery needs deep market reforms   * Economists see growth fragile until 2015   By Martin Santa   BRUSSELS, Aug 14 (Reuters) - The euro zone's two biggest economies, Germany and France, both grew more than forecast in the second quarter, reinforcing expectations that data later on Wednesday will show the currency bloc has moved out of recession.   The German economy grew by 0.7 percent in the second quarter of 2013, its largest expansion in more than a year, thanks largely to domestic private and public consumption.   France's economy expanded 0.5 percent, pulling out of a shallow recession to post its strongest quarterly growth since early 2011. The expansion was driven by consumer spending and industrial output, although investment dropped again.   Overall euro zone figures due at 0900 GMT are likely to show the euro zone economy grew in the three months to June, moving out of recession after seven quarters.   " The euro zone is set for a gradual economic recovery, helped by a sharp slowing in the pace of austerity, an acceleration in global demand growth and a sustained easing of uncertainty and financial stress," said ABN AMRO's head of macro research Nick Kounis, adding that a number of drags on growth remain.   A Reuters poll taken before the German and French releases forecast an expansion of 0.2 percent in the second quarter, the same amount the 18-nation bloc's economy shrank by in Q1.   The overall picture is likely to be mixed, as peripheral countries such as Spain, Greece and Portugal continue to struggle with high double-digit unemployment, on-and-off political rows and painful austerity.   The Reuters poll, published on Tuesday, suggested the euro zone economy is not likely to gain real momentum before 2015, with quarterly growth not seen exceeding 0.4 percent before then despite recent signs of improvement.   Euro zone industrial production rose in April and June, construction output picked up after a weak first quarter hit by bad weather and joblessness fell for the first time in more than two years in June.   " I suspect there was likely a modest overall pick-up in consumer spending, given improved confidence, moderate inflation and slowing job losses," said Howard Archer, chief European economist at IHS.   " Business investment also likely fell at a reduced rate given improved business confidence and the fact that it has fallen markedly for an extended period."   The European Central Bank has said it will keep interest rates at record lows for an extended period of time to assist the fragile recovery.   UNEVEN, BUMPY RECOVERY AHEAD   Recent economic data and sentiment surveys had suggested the German economy was picking up after contracting in late 2012 and a weak start to 2013.   But look south and there is a different picture.   The International Monetary Fund said earlier this month that Madrid's reform progress, fiscal consolidation and crackdown on external imbalances were bearing fruit, but that urgent action was needed to create jobs and stimulate growth.   The scope and form of the austerity drive in the European Union is now changing. Policymakers still say adjustments in excessive deficits and high debt are essential. But they now emphasise that any action taken must not choke growth and must help create jobs.   ECB President Mario Draghi said this month that labour market conditions remained weak, though he expected the bloc's growth to benefit from a gradual recovery in global demand.   " Overall, euro area economic activity should stabilise and recover at a slow pace. The risks surrounding the economic outlook for the euro area continue to be on the downside," Draghi said after the ECB rate meeting on Aug. 1. |

Head and Shoulders PatternsHead and ShouldersA head and shoulders pattern consists of a peak followed by a higher peak and then a lower peak with a break below the neckline. The neckline is drawn through the lowest points of the two intervening troughs and may slope upward or downward. A downward sloping neckline is more reliable as a signal.   The extent of the breakout move can be estimated by measuring from the top of the middle peak down to the neckline. This target is then projected downwards from the point of breakout.
Volume Confirmation
Trading SignalsGo short at breakout below the neckline.Place a stop-loss just above the last peak. After the breakout, price often rallies back to the neckline which then acts as a resistance level. Go short on a reversal signal and place a stop-loss one tick above the resistance level.
Inverted Head and ShouldersWith inverted head and shoulders the neckline is drawn through the highest points of the two intervening peaks. A downward sloping neckline signals continuing weakness and is less reliable as a reversal signal. The extent of the breakout move can be estimated by measuring from the top of the middle trough up to the neckline. This target is then projected upwards from the point of breakout.
Volume Confirmation
Trading SignalsGo long at breakout above the neckline.Place a stop-loss one tick below the last trough. There is frequently a correction back to the neckline, which then acts as a support level. Go long on a reversal signal and place a stop-loss one tick below the support level.
