Index Focus – 27 Feb - 27 February 2015

Equities are back from recent highs this morning showing mild fatigue after a data-heavy week. US Fed chatter again swinging into hawkish territory, seemingly followed by our own BoE and angry German sentiment as the Greek government tests the patience of its peers have conspired to halt the Indices’ march northwards today. Gold back down around $1205 on a strong USD and hopes that Eurogroup squabbling won’t result in a significant falling out.

Where next?
  1. Will the index rise above highs of 6961? or;
  2. Will the index fall towards lows of 6720?

UK Index ‘s February uptrend has lost some steam this week following yesterdays third test of all-time highs. We note potential formation of a bullish ascending triangle pattern that could fuel a (decisive?) break to the upside.
