DJ UK 100 Falls 1.7%, Now Below 6000 — Market Talk

Dow Jones – 7 Jan

The U.K.’s UK 100 slumps to 5968, down 1.7%, breaking below the physologally important 6000 level as the woes surrounding China’s stock market continue to be exported. The New Year correction from the 6300 level continues, says Mike van Dulken at Accendo Markets, and all eyes are now on whether the index falls as low as December’s 5870 level. This could act as a support, or the index could revisit the 5800 level last seen in August 2015.

Travel Takes Off Amid M&A Excitement — Market Talk

Travel companies perform strongly on European markets, Tuesday, with TUI up 2.4% and IAG up 1.4% on the UK 100 , and Air France-KLM rising 3.2% on the CAC 40. Accendo analyst Mike van Dulken says one of the factors buoying the sector is Swiss tourism company Kuoni’s confirmation of preliminary talks with third parties regarding potential buy-out offers. With consolidation in the air, the sector will also be helped by the continually low price of Brent crude, currently down 0.3% at $37.10 per barrel. Mr. Van Dulken also points to Hungarian low-cost Wizz Air’s releasing strong December 2015 figures, which show passenger number growth of 22%.

Next Losses A Sign Of Things To Come For M&S? — Market Talk

Dow Jones – 5 Jan

Next’s share price might make grim reading for Marks and Spencer shareholders, says Accendo research analyst Mike van Dulken. Next is the UK 100 ‘s biggest loser, dropping 5.2% on Tuesday as it releases weaker-than-expected sales figures, with sector-wide factors of online competition, warm winter weather, and poor stock availability dragging on the retailer. Next recorded a 0.5% drop in sales for Q4 2015 and its share price drop weighs that of Marks and Spencer by 1.68%. Marks and Spencer releases its figures Thursday. The note comes a day after Credit Suisse cut its target prices for both retailers, lowering Marks and Spencers by 2.6% to 440.6p
