Indices weekly outlook: FTSE holds steady ahead of UK data after tech volatility

Last week saw the technology sector take a plunge, before dip buyers stepped in on Friday to save the day, helping to fuel a late rally on Wall Street. In Europe, the major indices also came off their earlier lows to close either flat or in the positive. In the week ahead, the global macro calendar is lighter, with US market closed on Tuesday in observance of Veterans Day.

Indices weekly outlook: DAX forecast | Oct 19, 2025

The week ahead is set to be a busy one for the earnings calendar, while the macro calendar is again set to be quieter with the ongoing US government shutdown delaying the release of data there. Elsewhere, UK CPI on Wednesday and Global PMIs on Friday should bring about a bit of volatility for European markets. Among the indices to watch is the German DAX index this week, with the release of a few major company results to set the tone, including SAP in mid-week.
