Index Focus – 11 May - 11 May 2015

Equity markets are mixed this morning with the UK’s UK Index still in celebratory mood following last Friday’s Conservative win in the General Election but Germany’s DAX  and the US Dow Jones lower on a combination of technical resistance and renewed concerns about Greek debt negotiations. Chinese stimulus following disappointing inflation and trade data not enough to see European bourses follow Asia higher. Gold still tracking sideways with a stronger USD following the US jobs report offsetting  uncertainty linked to Greece’s debt situation and its future in the EUR as well as the state of the global economy.

Where next?
  1. Will the index rise towards highs of 7127? or;
  2. Will the index fall towards lows of 6670?

UK 100 back above recent 7063 highs as the election result gives UK equities a second wind. As mentioned last week, if all-time highs 7127 were achieved with the Tories in power can we expected the same again? With less uncertainty can we go even higher?
