Click graph to enlarge

Markets Overview:

UK 100 called to open flat at 7370, holding its uptrend, looking for another test of 7400, but testing rising support. Bulls need a break above yesterday’s 7380 overnight highs, then Tuesday’s 7420 5-week best. Bears require a breach of 2-day rising support at 7360 and then 1-month intersecting support at 7345. Watch levels: Bullish 7380, Bearish 7345

Calls for a flat start come courtesy of gains in the US and Asia, with higher oil prices from conflict fears boosting the key Energy sector. Sentiment nonetheless tempered ahead of key China data (see  below) around the European open.

Gold back at recent $1347 highs on conflict fears tempered risk appetite. Oil calmed after yesterday’s events in the Strait of Hormuz and OPEC report, off its $63 highs, still in a downtrend. Copper flat to down ahead of China data. GBP flat around 1.268 even with the threat of a new hard-Brexit Tory leader.
