Morning Report – Tuesday 2nd March

FTSE to open at 6,567 (-22 pts)

The S&P bounced back with some gusto yesterday, rallying more than 2% and closing near intra-day highs.

However, this positivity has failed to follow through into the Asian session, after China’s banking regulator voiced concern over bubbles in foreign markets. Hong Kong’s benchmark Hang Seng index is trading back near two-week lows as it’s retracement from all-time highs continues.

We have a mixed picture on the risk barometer – reflecting the mildly bearish open the FTSE futures are currently pricing in.

S&P 500+2.38%Bullish for UK stocks
Hang Seng-1.2%Bearish for UK stocks
Gold-0.11%Neutral for UK stocks
AUD/JPY-0.24%Bearish for UK stocks
US 10yr Yield-0.48%Neutral for UK stocks
Regency Risk Barometer Snapshot

?Risk Barometer Explained

The FTSE managed to close straight back above the 6,570 broken support yesterday – although we’re set to open just below it this morning.

This flip flopping around support indicates the heightened levels of indecision that we’re currently seeing in the market. It would seem that neither the bulls or bears have a tight grip on this market right now – leaving the best trading opportunities to be found at the stock level.
