Index Focus – 17 Nov - 17 November 2015

Equity markets building on their impressive turnarounds, delivering further strong gains and retracing much of last week’s losses. Worries related to the weekend’s events and their after-effects, a slowing China, commodity price weakness and a looming US rate hike are proving anything but the hindrance one might expect. Maybe the prospect of more stimulus from the BoJ and ECB, another rate cut from the RBA and UK rates on the floor until 2017 is enough to keep the bulls happy by keeping the cheap money ball up in the air. Game on.

UK Index  in the process of testing key 6250 level. Dax found a hurdle in November falling highs at 10900. Wall St trying to break above 17500. Gold given up all its gains to trade back at recent lows.

UK 100 trying to extend its rebound beyond that key 6250 level. We’ve had a test, but nothing meaningful. Decisive breakout >6260 required and 6250 must revert to support. Without a breakout, watch for a fallback.
