Equities rather mixed this morning as traders deal with conflicting arguments from Fed voters about a US rate rise in September and disappointing US ADP Jobs Adds having muddied the waters ahead of tomorrow’s key (it always is, n’est-ce pas?) Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP). Will job creation remain strong enough for the employment half of the FOMC’s dual mandate? All the while commodities remain under pressure, notably Oil and Gold, while earnings season delivers mixed message from round the world and we await confirmation of a Greek bailout agreement.
UK 100 found support at 6700 after backtracking from 6770 resistance from 2-month falling highs and 200-day MA. DAX30 still pushing on thanks to strong Factory Orders data and a persistently weak EUR. Dow Jones holding around recent lows 17500. Not much more to say on Gold as it flounders around $1085 in an ever narrowing range ($1082-1092)
