Index Focus – 28 Oct - 28 October 2014

Markets are driving higher across the board this morning aided by talk that interest rates should remain at historic lows for longer than anticipated as inflation concerns increase. The market has also been buoyed this morning by some of the bigger UK 100 companies releasing earnings that pleased the markets and increased sentiment for their sectors. A note published by a Goldman Sachs analyst this morning forecasting that the S&P 500 will register a new all-time high by the end of the year has also helped increase sentiment in the markets.
