Index Focus – 16 Dec - 16 December 2014

Markets are higher this morning having recovered from lows of 6124 overnight but demonstrating that volatility is still in play. Potential for a full retracement of the October/November rally amid recent global growth worries, Eurozone/Greek uncertainty, central bank policy divergence and collapsing oil prices. Gold off its lows of $1190 but remains held back by the round $1200 marker, hindered by USD resilience.
