Index Focus – 7 Oct - 7 October 2015

Equities showing nice gains and breakouts today after a brief pause, helped by a bounce in commodities prices (notably oil) from rate-hike-delay-inspired USD weakness, M&A sentiment (increased bid for SABMiller), hopes of more monetary stimulus by month-end (BoJ) and positive corporate updates (Samsung). Gains are despite the IMF warning on global growth and emerging markets suggesting this just confirms rate hike delays and more stimulus in the pipeline.

UK Index successfully broken above 6300 September highs and Jan lows. DAX broken beyond Aug falling highs 9900. Wall St closing in on Dec/Fed lows and Sept highs 16950-17000. Gold‘s test of $1150 puts it half-way to completing a bullish flag pattern.
