Index Focus – 9 Apr - 9 April 2015

Equity markets are mixed this morning with UK 100 back from yesterday’s Oil M&A highs and held in no mans land by worries of a Greek debt default despite the government making its April IMF payment deadline. Markets also concerned about a budding relationship between Alexis Tsipras and Vladimir Putin driving a bigger wedge between Greece and the Eurozone. Germany’s DAX is going for it, however, on a bigger than expected increase in its trade balance and encouraging industrial production data showing a month on month improvement. The US Dow Jones has posted a volatile couple of days and is down this morning as investors were kept guessing yet again by yesterday’s FOMC minutes. Gold is continuing to slide, weighed on by a strengthening dollar basket and weak demand in Asia with investment pouring into Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index instead of the safe haven commodity.

Where next?
  1. Will the index rise towards highs of 7065? or;
  2. Will the index fall towards lows of 6673?

UK 100 is back from yesterday’s April highs to trade flat 30 points below key resistance around 7000.
