Index Focus – 5 Mar - 5 March 2015

Equity markets are positive this morning  after a slight hiccup yesterday with positive inflation, unemployment and wage data from the UK buoying the UK Index while  US rate-rise-rumours on the other side of the pond, which would doubtless cross the water, are hindering a decisive break upwards. Gold still suffering from a lack of decisive drivers with investors looking ahead to Friday’s Non-Farm Payrolls to provide impetus.

Where next?
  1. Will the index rise above highs of 6980? or;
  2. Will the index fall towards lows of 6124?

The UK Index  is looking for support around 6890 for a bounce towards all-time highs of 6980 and above; continuing to benefit from rising lows from Dec ’14 and a supportive 20-day moving average through Feb. The index has bee range bound, however, for the past 13 days.

The US Dow Jones has fallen back to test support at recent lows 18080 this morning having posted two days of declines from all time highs 18284 seen on 2 March. If 18080 proves supportive and US Fed talk swings dovishly, we could see the uptrend regain momentum.
