Index Focus – 16 Mar - 16 March 2015

Equity markets are on the up this morning with the UK Index and Wall St. indices posting small gains after the weekend. The real star of the show, however, is Germany’s Dax which continues to storm Northwards and make new all-time highs. How much more fuel is in the engine?! Gold making a shallow recovery from 11-March 2015 lows, boosted by likelihood of Chinese economic stimulus but weighed down by the strong USD.

Where next?
  1. Will the index rise towards highs of 6976? or;
  2. Will the index fall towards lows of 6122?

UK 100  continues its uptrend supported by rising lows from Dec 2014. Still some way off regaining all time highs and looking for a decisive breach of bugbear level 6800 to provide some ‘gentle persuasion’ for the index on its journey north.

Where next?
  1. Will the index rise above highs of 12022? or;
  2. Will the index fall towards lows of 8380?

Germany’s DAX is still on the up with an ever steepening gradient since October 2014 with the 20-day moving average supportive,  some way above the 50-, 100- and 200-days and the only sign of an imminent pull-back being the RSI which sits firmly in overbought territory.

Where next?
  1. Will the index rise towards highs of 18284? or;

The US Dow Jones has made a decent attempt at another recovery from March lows 17626 – after a failed one over the weekend –  and we await a breach of resistance at 17900 to provide impetus for a reversal of trend that could see the index head back towards all-time highs
