Morning Report – Friday 21st May
FTSE to open at 7,022 (+3 pts)
Wall Street snapped a three-day losing streak yesterday following better than expected US jobs data…
Initial jobless claims came in at 444,000 – a new pandemic-era low and better than the 450,000 expected.
The positive sentiment could not be carried through into Asian trading, with Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index flat on the session.
| S&P 500 | +1.06% | Bullish for UK stocks |
| Hang Seng | -0.13% | Neutral for UK stocks |
| Gold | -0.03% | Neutral for UK stocks |
| AUD/JPY | -0.23% | Neutral for UK stocks |
| US 10yr Yield | -2.46% | Bullish for UK stocks |
The FTSE rallied from the bottom of the emerging wedge formation that we’d identified in yesterday’s Morning Report.
Should we test the top of the wedge during today’s session, we’d expect to see some profit taking into the weekend.
