Once again Greece is the driver of the UK 100 , DAX and DOW giving up more ground, with yet another day passing and opportunities for progress being passed up by both sides. Impressive stubbornness means the saga continues and the clock ticks towards D-day (sorry, in this case ‘D’ refers to Default and potentially Disaster rather than rescue). Or does it? There is talk now of a work-around which could see Greece allowed to miss debt payments but avoid default as the IMF is discussing with Ukraine. In the end though, are we not just prolonging the inevitable? Gold perked up in terms of volatility to trade a wider range as safehaven demand increases in the face of a hindering USD strength while the Fed prepares to update policy tomorrow.
UK 100 holding 6670 support as buyers emerge following the 2-week 4.5% sell-off to 4-month lows. Bulls looking for the level to hold and a rebound towards 7000 while the Bears are itching for a break lower and a fall to 2015 lows 6300.
