Index Focus - 21 June 2016

Equity indices are mixed this morning as conflicting Brexit polls overnight keep us guessing about Thursday’s still too-close-to-call Brexit referendum. The UK’s UK Index is in the red as commodities and miners hold it back in spite of GBP strength derived from reduced Brexit panic resulting in USD weakness that would usually be a benefit. An oil price  struggling with the $50 marker is also a hindrance on account of oil majors’ heavy weighting in the UK index. Germany’s DAX is flat on Brexit uncertainty and despite better than expected ZEW surveys while the US Dow Jones futures suggest another day of stateside gains, assuming Fed Chair Janet Yellen doesn’t spoil the party with her testimony this afternoon and global growth barometer FedEx (FDX) doesn’t deliver set of results and/or outlook.

The UK 100  continues to test for a bullish breakout at 6200, holding its short-term uptrends. The DAX30 is sitting just below 10000, awaiting a driver for a breakout. Bullish ascending triangle? Wall Street/Dow Jones futures remain in an uptrend from Thursday’s lows, holding 17850 thanks to a trendline of rising support. Gold may be in the late stages of two bearish patterns, a breach of $1280 being the trigger for declines of $35.
