That said, we've taken a leg higher as China's central bank cuts benchmark interest rates, lowers banks' reserve requirement ratio by 50bp (Street was lookin for 100bp) - but continue to fail those 2 resistance points I mentioned y'day in chats ---> E-Mins 1950 / NQ 4200. Europe's main indices getting close to reversing all their losses in yesterday's bloodbath, with every sector in the DAX and Stoxx higher in very good volume - Led by a 4%+ surge in Fins, Energy, Staples and Tech.
