Index Focus – 27 Aug - 27 August 2015

Equity markets are positive this morning, as a perceived recovery continues following Monday’s flash crash. Encouraging news from the US Fed finally giving markets something other than ‘buy it ‘cos it’s cheap’ to bite on while China continues to engage in some wild volatility. Still, the developed world appears to be getting on with things.

UK 100 +2%, still fighting to make 6100 a solid support level, DAX storming ahead +256pts as the Euro comes back from YTD highs against the Dollar,  helping the German benchmark index’s pool of exporters and Wall St. futures up 1% on dovish Fed chatter. Gold still buoyant on that US rate hike push-back, though not moving up much as investors get back into risk assets.
