Morning Report – Monday 15th March

FTSE to open at 6,778 (+17 pts)

It’s been a very quiet Asian session, despite a strong set of economic data from China…

China’s factory and retail sector activity surged in the first two months of the year, beating expectations, with year-on-year industrial production up 35.1% and retail sales jumping 33.8%. However, Asian stocks were largely unmoved by the data, with the Hang Seng and Nikkei trading flat on the day.

Our risk barometer isn’t giving any clues away either with, all asset classes seemingly still in sleepy Sunday mode.

S&P 500+0.10%Neutral for UK stocks
Hang Seng+0.06%Neutral for UK stocks
Gold-0.13%Neutral for UK stocks
AUD/JPY+0.09%Neutral for UK stocks
US 10yr Yield+0.22%Neutral for UK stocks

The FTSE futures price chart is perhaps our most significant pre-open reference point this morning.

Having closed just below the 6,800 February swing highs on Friday, the market flirted with breaking higher earlier this morning, only to swiftly drop back below resistance.

This battle at 6,800 resistance is going to be our key focus for the day.
