Index Focus – 14 Jul - 14 July 2015

Equity markets largely in the red this morning, coming down off yesterday’s heady reaction to news of a Greek deal (now more pseudo-deal) as Alexis Tsipras returns to a revolution within his Syriza party. Fears of a Grexit back on the minds of investors with UK 100 remaining pressured beneath resistance at falling highs since June, DAX30 back from yesterday’s highs 11,500 and Dow Jones failing to break its own Monday highs 18,000.

Gold still in the doldrums and seemingly devoid of purpose these days with heightened uncertainty in Europe and an Iranian nuclear deal (most notably annoying Israel by lifting sanctions) failing to encourage worried investors back to the traditional safe-haven commodity.

UK 100   is struggling to maintain momentum after an impressive news-led Monday bounce that filled the June gap. Falling highs from April (accelerated in May) proving a major hurdle while a dead cross by the 50- and 200-day MAs, not to mention the future of Greece, make for a bearish short-term outlook.
