Index Focus – 4 Mar - 4 March 2015

European equities are taking another leg down after the strong gains of late, hindered by Eurozone PMI Services readings and despite HSBC China PMI Services edging up from a 6-month low and the PBOC adding to recent stimulus. Worries about slowing China growth still a concern ahead of the new target being delivered by Beijing on Thursday coupled with the US jobs report on Friday and fears of a Greek cash crunch. Note Aussie GDP growth at the slowest in a year, missing consensus. Gold holds its downtrend from Monday’s March recovery highs, hindered by a strong USD and lack of panic.

Where next?
  1. Will the index rise above highs of 6976? or;
  2. Will the index fall towards lows of 6722?

The UK Index  continues to correct lower following its break below February rising support, which has since turned resistance. Potential for index to be taking a breather after strong start to the year and having just made fresh all-time highs. Uptrend from late 2014 intact.
