Morning Report – Thursday 2nd December
FTSE to open at 7,100 (-69 pts)
Stocks on Wall Street traded lower into the New York closing bell yesterday as the Fed’s seeming determination to tighten monetary policy regardless of the Omicron variant left many traders fearful.
While overnight in Asia, stocks and major currencies paused for breath as markets struggled to find direction in the absence of solid information about the Omicron variant.
This afternoon, we have US initial jobless claims for the week of 26 Nov, and ISM manufacturing data also from the US.
| S&P 500 | -1.18% | Bearish for UK stocks |
| Hang Seng | +0.48% | Bullish for UK stocks |
| Gold | -0.30% | Bullish for UK stocks |
| AUD/JPY | +0.40% | Bullish for UK stocks |
| US 10yr Yield | -3.10% | Bullish for UK stocks |
The whipsaw price action continued yesterday as the market initially tested the top of the weekly range before reversing.
As mentioned yesterday, the longer this whipsaw in the lower half of Friday’s range continues, the higher the probability of further downside.
