Index Focus – 12 Mar - 12 March 2015

While UK and US equities find support following recent declines, the hitherto rampant German index takes a breather having made fresh all-time highs. The USD Index finding resistance at 100 has offered some respite for commodities and the miners with Oil bouncing nicely, although safehaven Gold has failed to shine its way much higher despite plenty to be concerned about (Greece, slowing growth).

Where next?
  1. Will the index rise towards highs of 6976? or;
  2. Will the index fall towards lows of 6690?

UK 100 found support at 6690 following steep declines/correction and made a recovery attempt to break above 6750. Watch for today’s highs proving a hurdle, as they correspond with 9-11 Feb lows which could be support-turned-resistance. Genuine recovery or potential for another leg down.
