Index Focus - 30 November 2016

Equities are rallying this morning on optimism (misplaced?) that OPEC will actually agree to something meaningful, sending oil prices north, as well as fresh interest in a range of defensives, notably Unilever which is staging its annual investor event today. This positivity is helping offset weakness within Financials and Miners after UK Bank stress tests showed some capital shortfalls and metals prices remain under pressure.

The  UK 100  is showing appetite to push north via a quick rally to test 6-day falling highs at 6830. A failed DAX 30 rally to 10700 leaves it in a 2-week falling channel. Dow Jones Futures are also showing appetite to go higher, in a rising channel 19130-19160. Gold remains under pressure from a strong USD, market optimism and multiple resistance around $1195.

Where next?
  1. Will the index fall towards lows of 6515 or;
  2. Will the index rise towards highs of 7000?

The UK 100 is showing appetite to push north via a quick rally to test 6-day falling highs at 6830. However a duo of resistance remains a hurdle.
