Index Focus – 12 Feb - 12 February 2015

Equity markets are trading positive but subdued this morning on the back of big global uncertainty due largely to lack of progress in Brussels and Minsk, ongoing violence in Ukraine and hawkish Fed chatter. Gold, like oil, continues to be the rope in an economic tug of war between aforementioned conflicting drivers as well as a resilient USD. 

Where next?
  1. Will the index rise towards highs of 6905? or;
  2. Will the index fall towards lows of 6550?

The UK Index  sits in a new, tighter 4-day sideways channel with persistent support and resistance around 6785 and 6850 respectively. A break either way is needed to get traders excited, however we still remain within the 3-week confines 6720-6905 which are likely to prove more significant in terms of the uptrend from mid-Dec.

Gold  now trades in the lower half of its 3-week falling channel with potential for a fallback all the way to the $1200 level despite myriad global uncertainties, which would normally benefit the safe haven commodity.
