Morning Report – Monday 10th May

FTSE to open at 7,151 (+21 pts)

US and European stocks reacted positively to Friday’s weak set of non-farm payrolls – indicating that investors are more concerned over rising inflation than the strength of the recovery.

The US labour market added just 266,000 jobs last month, well below consensus estimates of 978,000. The S&P broke to new highs on the back of the disappointing data, giving a clear signal of investors current mindset.

Our risk barometer has a distinctly bullish feel to it, with only gold’s recent rally a small sign that underlying risk aversion may be on the rise.

S&P 500+0.77%Bullish for UK stocks
Hang Seng+0.55%Bullish for UK stocks
Gold+0.32%Bearish for UK stocks
AUD/JPY+0.58%Bullish for UK stocks
US 10yr Yield+0.34%Neutral for UK stocks
Regency Risk Barometer Snapshot

?Risk Barometer Explained

We’ve seen a strong breakout drive from the FTSE last week, with the futures even closing above the 2019 broken support / new resistance area.

At some point we are likely to see some mean reversion in the form of a pullback or consolidation phase. However, right now the market’s short-term momentum and long-term term trend are aligned in favour of the bulls.
