Morning Report – Thursday 28th July
FTSE to open at 7,391 (+43 pts)
US stocks rallied sharply yesterday after Fed Chair Jay Powell suggested that rate hikes may slow…
The central bank announced its second 0.75% rate rise in two months, but during the press conference Mr Powell said “at some point it will be appropriate to slow down” – causing the S&P 500 to surge higher.
In Asia, stocks have not followed Wall Street higher, instead they have quietly consolidated.
S&P 500 | +2.62% | Bullish for UK stocks |
Hang Seng | -0.18% | Neutral for UK stocks |
Gold | +0.36% | Bearish for UK stocks |
AUD/JPY | -0.62% | Bearish for UK stocks |
US 10yr Yield | -34pts | Bullish for UK stocks |
After seemingly rejecting resistance on Tuesday, the FTSE broke and closed above resistance yesterday, maintaining the bullish momentum of recent weeks.
However, it’s worth noting that the breakout came during US trading hours.
Should the breakout hold firm, there is very little resistance on the chart prior to the 7,600 cluster of highs.
