Equities are pretty flat into the week-end digesting an exciting round trip since Monday driven by; 1) optimism turned scepticism about oil production cuts; 2) fears turned hopes regarding Italian banks recapitalisation, and; 3) a hawkish Fed outlook and accompanying USD strength helping US and European bourses to take another leg higher via reciprocal GBP and EUR weakness. A backtrack in oil prices is dampening sentiment this morning, along with dollar-denominated commodities and miners hampered by USD Index strength (14yr highs) but stateside bullishness, the Dow Jones so close to 20, 000 and a Santa Rally season in full flow is difficult to ignore.
The UK 100 is sideways around 6995, deciding whether to continue yesterday’s rally or retrace. The DAX 30 is hovering above 11360 waiting for rising support to kick back in. Dow Jones Futures holding above 19860 but with falling highs since the European open. Gold is testing $1135 resistance amid a recovery from the Fed-inspired sell. Breakout?
