Index Focus - 28 November 2016

Equities have started the week on the back foot, investors concerned about Wednesday’s OPEC meeting being a waste of time and next Sunday’s Italian referendum having potential to send shivers through Europe’s banking sector. Energy and Banks are thus weighing on the UK Index this morning, although a surge in metals prices (thanks to a weak USD) and positive China data is helping, while an oil price bounce has helped it rebound from its lows. Note Germany’s DAX being held back by a mix of Banks, Airlines, Autos and big Industrials.

After a poor start the  UK 100  has rebounded close to 6840 overnight highs. The DAX 30 has bounced from 10580 lows to remain within its sideways channel. Dow Jones Futures eased back from all-time highs but already found support at 19100 to keep the post-Election uptrend alive. Gold has dropped back from rebound highs and broken below $1191 in what looks like be a bearish-double top back to rising support.

Where next?
  1. Will the index fall towards lows of 6705 or;
  2. Will the index rise towards highs of 7000?
