Global equities are making a hesitant start to the week as a plethora of political risks and a lack of data drivers hamper investor sentiment. The combination of the ‘Paradise Papers’, the Westminster sex/sleaze scandal, the ongoing Spanish constitutional crisis, a spate of corruption allegation in Saudi Arabia and a suitably firebrand Trump on his visit to Asia all weigh. Sterling recouping some of its Bank of England-inspired losses is hampering the UK 100 ‘s internationally-exposed names, offsetting the positive impact from a buoyant commodities sector.
The UK 100 sees positive contributions Miners, Oilers and Healthcare offset by the drag of a range of USD-sensitive names (BATS, HSBC, RB. & PRU) alongside Financial names after last week’s dovish BoE hike. Germany’s DAX is also in the red as Deutsche Telekom suffers after the breakdown of the Sprint/T-Mobile merger talks alongside ProSiebenSat.1, Adidas, Deutsche Boerse and Deutsche Bank, offsetting positivity amongst select Defensives (RWE) and Healthcare names (Fresenius, Merck, Bayer).
The UK Index 100 remains hindered by overnight falling highs at 7555. The DAX 30 has retreated from 13506 all-time highs. The Dow Jones Futures are making another run at fresh record highs. Gold is moving higher having overcome overnight highs of $1271.
