Index Focus - 8 December 2015

Equities bearing the brunt of continued commodity price weakness which has resulted in yet another major mining name ditching dividends to save its balance sheet while trying to weather a global supply glut and strong USD headwind before a likely US rate rise. Will the stronger miners do the same? With Oil gushing lower, might the still generous paying oil refiners be required to follow suit? Poor Chinese trade data hasn’t helped growth sentiment overnight, with exports still weak, even if Japan managed to swerve recession.

Equities maintain their correction from recent highs. UK Index  broken below 3-month intersecting support 6200. Bearish flag to 6075? DAX turned back from 11000, possibly set to revisit of 10700. Wall St testing yesterday’s 17650 lows, a breach of which could open up a fall back to 17500. Gold in uptrend from recent lows with potential to revisit recent $1089 highs.
