Index Focus – 27 Oct - 27 October 2014

Markets have started the week on a high after a strong finish in the US helped sentiment. Sentiment was also buoyed by European bank stress test results. Today is light on the macro data front with German IFO and US pending home sales the only real points of note. The rest of the week could be dominated by earnings as some of the UK 100 heavyweights release their results.
