Index Focus – 28 Aug - 28 August 2015

Equity markets are mildly red this morning. Investors likely wary of entering positions into the weekend after what happened last and with Tuesday’s mass exodus from the Dow into the close indicating severe nervousness as regards the holding of stocks overnight. Low volume across the board to be expected today, then, with an uptick in selling probable this afternoon between 4 and half past.

Gold is staying buoyant with those invested loathe to move out before the weekend – seeing through some positive macro data to what lies behind: ongoing concerns about China’s economy and government meddling in its currency.
