Morning Report – Wednesday 23rd March
FTSE to open at 6,667 (-32 pts)
Asian stocks hit two-month lows overnight as the US dollar strengthen to four-month highs following European COVID-19 lockdowns and the posiibility of U.S. tax hikes – denting risk appetite.
The Hang Seng has broken below a key level of support today and this marks a medium-term top of Asian equities – setting us up for a weak start to European trading.
S&P 500 | -0.76% | Bearish for UK stocks |
Hang Seng | +2.04% | Bearish for UK stocks |
Gold | +0.03% | Neutral for UK stocks |
AUD/JPY | -0.37% | Bearish for UK stocks |
US 10yr Yield | -1.07% | Bullish for UK stocks |
The FTSE failed to muster another fightback and closed below the 6,705 support level that we’ve highlighted over the last week.
A move down towards the ascending trendline just above 6,600 now looks the most likely scenario.
