Equities are higher, albeit off their best levels and still close to recent record highs. Oil prices have retreated from overnight highs after Iran’s Oil minister said “OPEC doesn’t want to see oil prices >$60”, base metals gave back some supply concern gains and we await the latest on German coalition talks and Westminster reshuffle. Note Goldman Sachs predicting another weak year for USD which could hinder UK/Euro equities via GBP and EUR strength.
The UK UK Index outperforms by way of strength for Miners (both commodities and USD higher), RDS, BATS (6% EPS boost from US tax reform) and Carnival (CS upgrade), which easily overpowers ULVR, TSCO (market share decrease), PRU and PSN & CRH (both profit taking form 2-month highs) weakness.
Germany’s DAX hovers around breakeven as notable gains for Continental (results), RWE (Bernstein upgrade) and Henkel (IoT collaboration) are offset by >1% losses for Deutsche Boerse, Adidas (Under Armour downgrade) and E.ON.
The UK Index 100 is back challenging yesterday’s 7730 mid-day highs. The DAX 30 is flat, holding yesterday’s 13330 breakout. Dow Jones Futures have resumed their uptrend towards yesterday’s highs. Gold has found support at $1314.
