Index Focus - 10 February 2016

Equity markets maintaining their recoveries, as financials regain some poise and bulls have another go at bottom-picking. However, recovery is a big word given the shallow progress by the UK Index and DOW. The DAX is the outperformer thanks to a rebound by Deutsche Bank, on whom fears have focused over the last 48 hours.

UK Index in new lower shallow rising channel 5620-5685. Wall Street regained 16100, in rising 2-day channel 15900-16200. DAX broken back above 9000, but already faltered at 5-day falling resistance. Gold broken back below $1185 as its strong reversal loses oomph and markets take on a little risk.
