p-The major stock indices saw modest losses last week as a pivotalFOMCmeeting came and went alongside subtle shifts in the US-China trade landscape. Left to sift through the transcripts, the Dow Jones was able to stem initial losses post-FOMC after Fed Chairman Jerome Powellhinted at the possibility of quantitative easing.Despite the uncertain policy path, the willingness of the Fed to explore expanding its balance sheet was seemingly enough to sate the market's lofty dovish desire - for the time being.

Together, the commentary and cancellations removed an opportunity for both sidesto build goodwill and negotiate.Consequently, deeper concern over the status of an interim trade deal could likely take a hit over the weekend and early this week. Thus, traders should tread cautiously as the Dow Jones confronts all-time highs and deteriorating trade relations with China.
DAX 30 Forecast-p
p-Outlook: Neutral
On the other hand, the DAX 30 was able to weather the fundamentally loaded week without a notable change in price. Closing effectively flat for the week, the DAX may yet suffer alongside the Dow Jones if trade tensions pickup in earnest. Frequently teetering on the brink of a recession, the German economy can ill afford more bad news. Any indication that the trade war will worsen could look to undercut the recent impact of a dovish ECB.

As time to the October 31 Brexit deadline dwindles, fundamental developments may possess greater potential to influence price as the time to renegotiate fades. A breakthrough agreement regarding the Irish backstop issues could see the FTSE 100 soar as the likelihood of the United Kingdom leaving the EU with a deal ticks higher.
