After falling off the cliff the last few weeks, the DJ Stoxx 50 Index hit support from a familiar retracement. The decline to around 2460 retraced 62% of the prior advance. There is also support in this area from the October-November lows. The European stock index bounced off support on Thursday and added to gains on Friday. Note: this is an end-of-day (EOD) index, which means its price will be updated after the close.
