Index Focus – 24 June - 24 June 2015

European equities continuing to tread water (DAX just below the waterline) this morning ahead of an emergency meeting in Brussels (Tsipras summoned to face concerned creditors) while US futures also flat. Markets are holding on to Gold-killing confidence in the hope that this evening’s Eurogroup meeting will produce a rubber-stampable agreement ready for tomorrow’s EU summit, while hawkish Fed and BoE comments concerning US and UK interest rates have gone largely unnoticed (one exception: UK house builders!)

Where next?
  1. Will the index fall back towards support at 6625?
  2. Will the index rally on towards highs of 7065?

UK 100  is holding and building on this week’s gains so far (not wanting to hang around!) having breached the upper bound of a rising channel and just 5 pts away from key level 6870. Bulls looking for a breakout towards 6900 next while Bears remaining aware of profit taking and uncertainty over today’s 2 key Greece meetings making up the final shoulder of a bullish H&S reversal pattern.
