Index Focus - 1 December 2016

Equities are under pressure today, the OPEC pantomime on hold until next week’s meeting with Russia, allowing investors to fret anew about the weekend’s Italian referendum and of course the US jobs report tomorrow. A weaker USD and thus stronger GBP and EUR are also weighing on the international contingent of both the UK Index and DAX, although oil is having another go at yesterday’s production cut highs to keep Energy buoyant.

The  UK 100  is trading around the 6730 floor of its 3 week channel. Break or bounce? The DAX 30 remains trapped in a 2-week 10500-10650 falling channel. Dow Jones Futures are hampered below 19150 by falling highs since yesterday’s record. Gold has taken another leg lower to test near $1160 levels last traded early Feb.

Where next?
  1. Will the index fall towards lows of 6515 or;
  2. Will the index rise towards highs of 7050?
