UK 100 Focus - 1 June 2018

The UK 100 is on the rise, having found its bearings this week’s sell-off and transitioning to a rising channel with all-time high levels (7903) once again within sight. With Italian coalition confirming its cabinet selections and averting fears of a fresh Italian election, markets were once again breathing easier. Potential for geopolitical instability still exists due to change of power in Spain, though the incoming Socialist government is considered friendly to EU institutions (unlike Italian coalition), which has markets reassured.
