Index Focus – 2 Jul - 2 July 2015

Equity markets positive again this morning as optimism remains of a Greek solution despite continued contradiction from both sides with PM Tsipras first saying willing to accept all creditor proposals then asking for changes and telling electorate to vote ‘no’ while Eurogroup says ‘happy to help’ but forbids further talks until after Sunday’s referendum. Be prepared for another loooong Greekend folks.

UK Index  back above 6600 but still struggling to better 6630. Similar situation for the DAX, unable to break above 11300, and Wall St finding 17800 to be a hurdle. Gold still weak on USD strength and surprising lack of safehaven demand, but found support at June lows $1162.

US Dow Jones holding around yesterday’s highs, maintaining its bounce from near 3-month lows. Needs to break above 17800 in order to challenge Monday’s high and close gap. Back above 200-day MA.

Where next?
  1. Will Gold bounce back to highs of $1206? or;
  2. Will Gold fall below support at $1162?

Gold has seen its downtrend from mid-Jun persist and take the metal back to early June lows $1162. Can this hold or will it give way to May lows $1142. Still failing to act as a safehaven due to a) strong USD hurting from rate hike expectations and alternative safehaven demand in the world’s reserve currency, b) Strong USD increasing appeal of cheaper JPY, c) failure recently to act as safehaven in times of worry over Greece.

Solid Green line
Possible support

Solid Red line
Possible resistance

  • Trend: Sideways
  • Potential support: 1162
  • Potential resistance: 1170, 1175, 1188
