Index Focus - 15 June 2017

Equity indices have erased most of this week’s gains to test major support. A stronger USD following a Fed interest rate rise would normally help the UK Index and DAX via GBP and EUR weakness. Not today though as poor UK retail sales (and a sector profits warning) weigh more heavily, along with continued Fed-ECB policy divergence, a drop in continental exports and differing transatlantic growth prospects. Oil back near 1-month lows doesn’t help either, hurting Energy & Miners.

The UK Index 100 sell-off has found 6-week rising support at 7410. The DAX 30 has breached 1-month rising support at 12700. Dow Jones Futures are holding June rising support at 21265. Gold has found twin support at $1256.
