Index Focus - 21 June 2017

Equity indices are very mixed this morning. The UK’s UK Index  is on the back foot from lower oil prices (another leg down for crude), financials still under pressure (dovish Carney), sector rotation in Healthcare (Shire drug approval), profits taking from international exposure and Sterling off its lows (lower public borrowing + hawkish BoE comment). Germany’s DAX underperforms on account of EUR strength (USD off highs) led lower by a mix of financials, consumer, health and airlines. Note France’s CAC even weaker after Macron allies resign amid scandal. The US Dow Jones is called only a touch higher this afternoon.

The UK Index 100 is testing overnight lows after GBP spikes on hawkish BoE member comment. The DAX 30 decline has found support at 12710. Dow Jones Futures have bounced to test 21480 overnight highs. Gold has broken out from a bullish falling wedge
