Index Focus – 16 Sept - 16 September 2015

Equities higher this morning, building on yesterday’s gains following a positive session in Asia overnight. Fear appears to be receding about a potential rate rise being announced at tomorrow’s Fed policy update after much debate over whether the recent risk-off mentality had become an overcrowded trade. Another sharp rise by Chinese equities towards the session-end (thanks to intervention) has also boosted risk appetite despite global growth concerns remaining very much to the fore.

UK Index rallied back above recently breached trend-line of rising support, to keep uptrend alive, but required progress above 6200 remains elusive. Dax broken out from falling channel to trade back around 10300. Dow 3-week uptrend intact with potential for breakout from bullish ascending triangle. Gold traded out from late Aug downtrend, but merely to move sideways $1105-1110.
