Equity markets are in the red this morning in a particularly choppy trading session, earlier gains as a result of positive earnings reports from European financials being offset by a weakening USD on the back of better-than-expected UK GDP data for the third quarter. After an exciting hour, equities have once again settled back into business as usual, with a Crude Oil price rise this morning helping to buoy market sentiment after pessimistic trading overnight. Investors will be pricing in the impact of a barrage of US earnings data this afternoon, with 50 S&P companies reporting on the busiest day of releases so far this quarter.
The UK 100 broke through two levels of falling highs resistance at 6940 and 6970 to momentarily break the 7000 point barrier in the run up to the GDP announcement, however now finds itself back at 6940 on account of strengthening GBP. Will it bounce once again and make a charge towards 7000? The Dax 30 also saw a spike on account of the strengthening USD pre-UK GDP release, however has since pared those gains and remains near support at 10650. Will ECB speakers later today provide further detail on monetary policy measures help spur a rally towards resistance at 10870? Dow Jones Futures spiked at 18245 resistance on account of Dollar strength although have since fallen. Will some strong earnings releases this afternoon see that resistance challenged and potentially broken on the way to 18300? Gold is in uptrend, bouncing overnight at $1265 rising lows support. Can it continue the trend to post 4-week highs today?
