Index Focus - 14 November 2016

Equities are making a positive start to the week, continuing to digest the prospect of a Trump Presidency rather  well. Meeting Nigel Farage and resuming his tweeting may keep us on our toes, but investors appear to like the less controversial character who has addressed the media since winning. Key appointments have also been well received and bullishness is rising in his spending, tax cut and deregulation plans. A breath of fresh air for a developed world still stuck in a post-crisis low growth, low inflation, low rates, stimulus-focused funk. Perhaps Donald is just what markets need, however, surprising that may sound.

The  UK 100  is doing its best to hold above 6795 to maintain the recovery rally from Friday’s 6705 lows.  The DAX 30 is teasingly close to a channel breakout at 10800. A strong USD/weaker EUR would help exporters. Dow Jones Futures continues to post fresh record highs, now within touching distance of 19000. Gold is suffering from increased US rate rise expectations and a stronger USD coupled with less fear of Trump. Back to Back to $1200? Lower?

Where next?
  1. Will the index fall towards lows of 6705 or;
  2. Will the index rise towards highs of 7000?

The UK 100 is doing its best to hold above 6795 to maintain the recovery rally from Friday’s 6705 lows.  Can we get back to 6850, 6900 and even the 7000 highs form which we turned back last week?
