Index Focus – 29 Oct - 29 October 2015

Equity markets back in the red this morning with a more hawkish than expected Fed message reviving expectations of a December US rate hike while strong Japanese data has trimmed hopes of more BoJ stimulus tonight. While US bourses appeared to rally on Fed-inspired US growth hopes, Europe’s reaction suggests discontent at the prospect of tighter/less accommodative policy from both major central banks. Is the ball back with Mario at the ECB? Mixed corporate results, notably the Banks, also holding sentiment back.

UK Index  found support at recent and 2-week rising lows. DAX back down at 10800 after a test of 10900. Wall St is taking a breather after its breakout at 17650. Gold regained composure at $1160 after a Fed-strengthened USD saw it plunge from $1180.
