Index Focus - 25 July 2017

Equities are nicely higher this morning, thanks to strong results, oil’s rebound and a copper price surge all buoying sentiment ahead of tomorrow’s Fed’s policy update. Strong German IFO data is also likely helping along with hopes of a flurry of solid earnings reports from the other side of the Atlantic.

The UK  UK 100  outperforms on strength from Oil majors (oil price rally), Miners (weak USD, metals & oil higher) and Financials (Aussie banks up; pre-results excitement; steeper yield curve?) easily outweighing weakness among select defensives BATS (strong GBP), RB (digesting yesterday’s results), MRW (Kantar market share data) and CRDA (results). Germany’s DAX is being led higher by financials tempered only by persistent mild weakness among Autos.

The UK Index 100 has broken back above 7430. The DAX 30 looks to have begun a 100pt bullish inverse head & shoulders reversal pattern. Dow Jones Futures have broken above 21580. Gold is holding in a rising channel at $1251
