Index Focus - 29 September 2016

Equities are holding close to this week’s best levels following a last minute surprise agreement from OPEC to work towards a production cut that helps stabilise oil prices and lessen the global supply glut. Sharply higher oil prices have understandably boosted Energy names and given a fillip to the Mining space, although we note barrel prices coming off the boil as markets realise this is merely a step towards a cut. Amid today’s revival of risk appetite one could almost be forgiven for forgetting the woes of Deutsche Bank which had been as dominant as OPEC on sentiment this week.

The UK 100  has again turned back from 6935 making it three failed attempts in September. The DAX 30 is pausing around 10550 after an overnight bullish breakout above 10500. Dow Jones Futures are already slowing up their advances around 18350 after the 18250 breakout. Gold is holding around $1320 thanks to 2016 rising support.
