Index Focus - 28 June 2016

Equities look to have found their footing post-Brexit, despite political turmoil in Westminster and the trio of ratings agencies having sent GBP to fresh 31yr lows after stripping the UK of its gilt-edged creditor reputation. While equity volumes are picking up, they are still below average and so bargain-hunting may be helping as opposed to emergence of genuine support as markets adjust to a new normal and the prospect of the UK outside the EU. The UK’s UK Index is already testing yesterday’s highs with companies that have reassured investors seeing their shares outperform (NXT, LGEN) while the recently volatile financials and property sectors are posting welcome rebounds. The German DAX and Wall street remain in recovery mode from from their post-Brexit lows.

The UK 100  is back from a teasing bounce above 6100, already testing 6050 for support. The DAX30 has bounced from 9300 after a retrace from 9700 recovery highs. Wall Street/Dow Jones futures bounced from fresh post-Brexit lows of 17200 overnight but remain dogged by falling highs at 17300. Gold remains sideways around $1325, held close to post-Brexit  highs as safe havens remain bid on Brexit uncertainty.
