Index Focus - 13 June 2016

Equity indices are off their worst level, but still very much under pressure as markets remain risk averse into the new week on account of UK referendum Brexit fears, China data adding to slowdown fears and what major central bank policy updates might (or might not) offer us this week. A US Crude oil price back below $50 is not helping, nor sovereign bond yields near record highs if not already negative while the US dollar holds up near recent highs to the detriment of commodities, excluding the precious metals of course.

The UK 100  is toying with a bullish breakout at 6100 to clear the first hurdle for a recovery rebound. The DAX30 has made a bullish bounce back above 9700 but already found resistance at 9775. Wall Street/Dow Jones futures have made a bullish bounce from 3-week rising lows at 17800. Gold continues to benefit from risk aversion with support at $1280 in a strong uptrend towards 2016 highs of $1305.

  2. Will the index rise towards highs of 6430?

The UK 100 is toying with a breakout at 6100 to clear the first hurdle of a recovery rebound from 6050 May lows. Note the 4-hourly RSI recovering from oversold, but very limited progress by the index beyond 6100 thus far. A break of 6050 could open the door to a fallback to 6000, 5900 and 5850.

Watch levels: Bullish 6110, Bearish 6075

Where next?
  1. Will the index fall towards lows of 9400? or;
  2. Will the index rise towards highs of 10530?

The DAX30 has bounced back above 9700 but already found resistance at what is likely now support-turned-resistance at 9775 following the late Friday breakdown. Is a breakout possible, or is this merely a pause before another downleg towards 9500? Note the 4-hourly RSI oversold like the UK Index .

Watch levels: Bullish 9815, Bearish 9675

Solid Green line

Where next?
  1. Will the index fall towards lows of 17330? or;
  2. Will the index rise towards highs of 18000?

Wall Street/Dow Jones futures have made a bullish bounce from 3-week rising lows at 17800 which puts it in a rising channel that could take it back to 18000. Any breakdown would likely see a revisit of June lows around 17700.

  • Watch levels: Bullish 17860, Bearish 17780

Where next?
  1. Will Gold fall towards lows of $1200? or;

Gold continues to benefit from risk aversion with support at $1280 amid a strong uptrend towards 2016 highs of $1305. Safehaven seeking trumping a strong US dollar. A break of $1280 could jeapordise the uptrend.
