Index Focus – 9 Dec - 8 December 2014

Markets are heavily in the red this morning following another weak session from the States was followed by the Asian markets, most noticeably China’s Shanghai which gave up 5.4%, the most since 2009. Oil stocks continue the weigh on the UK 100 whilst another profit warning from Tesco is helping to drive the markets lower. Gold continued to hover around $1200, demand for the metal torn between interest for a safe haven as equities fall and a strong USD as we factor in a US rate rise and higher borrowing costs next year.
