Index Focus – 6 Oct - 6 October 2015

Equities mixed this morning,taking a breather from the recent strong rebounds delivered across the board as we leave a turbulent Q3 behind. Risk appetite still buoyed by hopes of a global extension to loose monetary policy, be that via extraordinarily low rates (notably in the US) or additional stimulus measures (BoJ, ECB) to help foster global growth. Commodities off their lows boosting sentiment even if the USD remains strong and raw material supply gluts fly in the face of slowing growth in emerging markets.

UK Index back after break above 6300, but support already found at 6250. DAX back from intersecting trend-line of resistance at 9900. Wall St broken out above July falling highs at 16600. Gold making another attempt to better $1140 to complete bullish flag pattern.
