Morning Report – Friday 17th September

FTSE to open at 7,067 (+40 pts)

Wall Street weakened yesterday after strong retail sales data raised expectations that Federal Reserve would soon begin reining in its stimulus efforts…

US retail sales increased 0.7% in August compared with July – confounding analysts who, on average had been predicting a 0.8% decline.

In contrast, this morning’s UK retail sales unexpectedly fell in August in what is now their longest streak of declines since current records began.

The FTSE futures threatened to break higher after the cash market closed yesterday, but this lacked conviction.

This morning’s pre-open price action has seen the futures make another attempt to break higher, and we will be looking for this to hold during the opening rotation.
