Index Focus – 2 Mar - 2 March 2015

European equities have reversed a negative start to trade fresh highs, bolstered by the Chinese weekend rate cut adding to accomodative global central bank policy stances (QE, low/negative rates) and hopes that the manufacturing sector can be revived in the world’s #2 economy. Gold off its highs, but maintaining recovery trend from $1200 hindered by strong USD and absence of safehaven demand as Europe/Greece calms.

Where next?
  1. Will the index rise above highs of 6973? or;
  2. Will the index fall towards lows of 6860?

The UK Index  has made another fresh all-time high, although still making only incremental gains rather than any decisive break to the upside. Still potential for bullish ascending triangle pattern to deliver breakout and 100pts upside and see 7000 visited for the first time.

The US Dow Jones remain within the confines of recent highs 18242 and the prior breakout at 18100, although it continues to peter back from the former as momentum wanes. Pause before a revival of prior uptrend?
