The STOXX 600 is losing 1.5%, which means it"s now heading towards a third straight weekly loss. While the overall drop isn"t massive, only a tiny fraction of the companies listed on the pan-European index are in positive territory this morning. The market stress is quite visible for European tech which is tracking the Nasdaq downwards with a 2.5% fall. Just like the Wall Street tech index, the European sector is trading in correction territory, with the index at 741 points, that is about 12% below the 850 point bar it crossed in November. Europe"s tech index is also cruising below key moving averages which indicates it could be set for some more pain in the coming weeks. In that respect, Netflix results last night are on many traders" minds as some fear they might constitute some kind of spoiler for the earnings season. Ipek Ozkardeskaya, an analyst at Swissquote noted that the tech sector really needs to show some pretty good earnings amid rising angst about the Fed raising rates by 50 basis points. "The actual Big Tech pricing reflects a fantastic earnings growth for the coming quarters, and investors won’t settle with anything less than fireworks," she wrote in a note. Speaking of the Fed, commodities are really under some stress with prices falling in expectation of the tightening cycle. Miners are the worst performers across bourses with the index down 2.8% and set for its worst daily performance since November. Talking about the biggest losers today, Siemens Gamesa is sinking 9% as it promises improvement in turbine prices after slashing outlook. sd sd (Julien Ponthus) ***** EUROPE BRACES FOR A WAVE OF RED (0705 GMT) European bourses are set for a rough start this morning with futures pointing to losses of over 1% in the wake of a sell-off which spread from Wall Street to Asian bourses overnight. Tech and growth stocks are at the centre of the selling spree with investors wary of the Fed"s next moves to tackle inflation which has proven much less transitory than hoped by policy makers just a few months ago. The future for the European blue chips listed in the EURO STOXX 50 is losing 1.6% and Nasdaq futures are down about 1%. (Julien Ponthus)
