Index Focus - 3 November 2017

Indices remain mixed into the end of the week and latest US jobs report. The UK UK Index is flat, off fresh 5-month highs as Sterling recovers from yesterday’s dovish BoE hike lows. Wall St remains close to another overnight record after Apple results and an uneventful Fed Chair nomination. Germany’s DAX outperforms thanks to USD strength (expecting wages data supportive of another December hike) pushing the EUR lower.

The UK 100 sees positive contributions from RDSB (its yesterday’s results, Repsol’s today, fresh highs), HSBC & DGE (extending bounces) and NMC  (fresh record highs) offset the drag from LLOY (dovish BoE), BLT/RIO (stronger USD), BP (oil off highs) and defensives VOD & IMB. Germany’s DAX is led by Infineon Tech (Apple results, iPhone launch), Deutsche Telekom (revival of Sprint/T-Mobile talks), Bayer and ProSeiben.Sat1 countering declines for Commerzbank and Lufthansa (AF/IAG read-across?)

The UK Index 100 has pulled back to 7550. The DAX 30 have pulled back to rising support at 13450. The Dow Jones Futures continue to push fresh record highs. Gold trades back towards rising support at $1273.
