Index Focus - 19 October 2016

Equities are back in the red as investors digest suspiciously stable China GDP growth (three quarters in a row?! Really?) whilst gearing up for another round of Trump vs Clinton and pondering what Mario Draghi and his ECB will do with their struggling QE programme. Optimism grows about Saudi Arabia actually cutting oil output although reports that Venezuela’s oil giant might default on its bonds next week only add to the global oil supply glut miserly and need for a coordinated OPEC-led production cut at the end-November meeting in Vienna. UK data remains very positive helping GBP hold ground.

The UK Index 100 broken back below 7000 but still holding September uptrend. The DAX 30 has sold back from its 2-month shallow falling highs ceiling at 10650. Dow Jones Futures remain sideways in the middle of their 2-month narrowing  range 17950-18350. Gold has broken out at $1265 with potential for a bullish triple-bottom to complete at $1280.
