MSCI WORLD STOCK INDEX – Prices have put in a Shooting Star candlestick formation ahead of resistance at $1131.35, the June swing high, hinting a move lower may be ahead. Negative RSI divergence bolsters the case for a downward scenario. That said, confirmation is required on the close of tomorrow’s candle. Initial support lines up at $1116.56, the 7/14 wick high.

US DOLLAR INDEX – Prices have stalled above support at 82.11, the 76.4% Fibonacci retracement of the 4/12-6/7 upswing. Positive RSI divergence hints that a rebound may materialize from here, with initial resistance at the 61.8% Fib level (83.37). Alternatively, continued selling sees support just above the 80.00 figure.
