Index Focus - 11 January 2016

Equity markets up off their lows to start the new week although still under pressure from last week’s worst ever start to a new year. US Jobs data was good, but as always, the devil was in the detail with wage growth flat.  Chinese inflation data over the weekend may have ticked up for Consumers but with Producer Prices still down almost 6% annually, the outlook remains dire for the raw materials space. Under the weight of existing downtrends is this a Relief rally or just another tease?

UK Index bounced back above 5900 after test of long term rising support. DAX bounced off 9600 thanks to rising support from Oct 2014. Wall St found support at 6-month shallow rising support 16200. Gold sold back from intersecting trendline at $1110.
