Index Focus – 23 Sept - 23 September 2015

Equities back in the green following yesterday’s risk-off session despite a lack major fresh drivers to explain the positive performance, bar some well-timed bargain hunting, a higher oil price and a rebound in French PMI Manufacturing. Ironically, gains are despite disappointing Chinese Manufacturing PMI data overnight which only adds to pre-existing concerns about the world’s #2 economy, but suggests markets becoming increasingly accustomed to China data confirming a slower pace of economic growth. Or are we simply back to the old ‘bad data is good data’ (meaning more stimulus).
