Morning Report – Thursday 15th April

FTSE to open at 6,955 (+15 pts)

The S&P 500 posted it first negative close in six sessions yesterday…

After rallying to new highs earlier in the session, the S&P closed lower – signalling that the recent rally might be running out of steam.

Asian stocks have followed the S&P’s lead, posting small losses and our risk barometer has a mildly bearish tone as we enter European trading.

?Risk Barometer Explained

The FTSE put in a strong move higher yesterday – rallying from the ascending trendline.

We’re now faced with another retest of the New Year highs. This is a key area of resistance for the FTSE and we’ll be watching closely to see if the market can break and hold above the 6,961 during today’s session.
