Equity markets are speculatively positive this morning after the passage of US tax reform yesterday. The UK’s UK 100 outperforms, despite the latest Westminster P45 being handed to Deputy PM Damien Green, as the index’s plethora of foreign earning stocks reap the perceived benefits of President Trump’s first legislative victory. European equities, however, are more hesitant, awaiting the results of today’s crucial Catalonian parliamentary elections just months after the former government attempted to secede from Madrid.
The UK UK Index is enjoying strength amongst its large-cap foreign earning stocks, including the likes of BATS, Oilers BP & Shell, AZN, Miners and European Retailers DGE & RB. Offering minimal drag are STAN (North Korean geopolitical tensions), ULVR (technical breakdown), select Utilities (NG. & UU, the latter ex-div), SHP, BA. (increased US competition resulting from tax reform) and CCL.
Germany’s DAX is marginally higher as exporters (Infineon, HeidelbergCement, Fresenius, BMW) overpower losses for Banks ahead of the crucial Catalonia vote.
The UK Index 100 is benefiting from a double breakout from 7535/7545 resistance. The DAX 30 has halted this week’s sell-off at 13010 support. Dow Jones Futures are rallying from their 24700 channel floor. Gold has maintained its breakout above $1265.
