Index Focus - 23 June 2017

Equity indices are nursing more losses as lower oil prices weigh along with Healthcare and the EU gives a muted response to Theresa May’s ‘fair and generous’ Brexit offer to EU expats. A stronger GBP is also denting sentiment after outgoing BoE voice Forbes added to Haldane’s mid-week hawkishness, while a USD pullback drags on the DAX by way of a stronger EUR.

The UK’s UK Index is being weighed down by Oil majors (weak crude), Healthcare (threat to Trump healthcare bill, less deregulation?), DGE (strong GBP, acquisition) and ABF (strong GBP, weak Sugar). Strength is limited to BATS (defensive), FRES (higher silver/gold), BT (bargain hunting) and ITV & CNA (broker upgrades).

The UK Index 100 is holding rising support at 7400. The DAX 30 is testing support at 12720. Dow Jones Futures have breached support at 21390. Gold has broken above intersecting resistance $1255.
