Index Focus - 10 December 2015

Equities markets bounced from technical support, but only after another southerly test overnight. This was came from revived fears about slower global growth and readiness for explicit monetary policy divergence which weighed on an oversupplied commodity sector despite a normally helpful weaker USD. This morning’s positive update from miner/trader Glencore (GLEN) – ahead of schedule in terms of painful self-help and debt reduction measures – is giving a fillip to the sector’s depressed stock prices while corporate updates elsewhere offered a mixed batch. Index corrections complete?

UK Index  found 4M rising support at 6050 but December downtrend remains a hurdle. DAX bounced at 17440 thanks to intersecting  support from early July, but still in December downtrend. Wall St still holding August uptrend at 17500 with positive divergence on RSI. Gold in another tight narrowing range around $1073.
