Morning Report – Thursday 5th August

FTSE to open at 7,101 (-23 pts)

The S&P 500 posted its narrowest trading range in over seven sessions yesterday – indicating that the market is getting tight ahead of Friday’s non-farm payrolls data.

Overnight in Asia, we’ve seen a mixed session with Hong Hong’s Hang Seng Index erasing most of yesterday’s gains while Japan’s Nikkei 225 Index was in positive territory as the market bounced from long-term support.

S&P 500-0.46%Bearish for UK stocks
Hang Seng-0.94%Bearish for UK stocks
Gold-0.07%Neutral for UK stocks
AUD/JPY+0.41%Bullish for UK stocks
US 10yr Yield+1.26%Bullish for UK stocks
Regency Risk Barometer Snapshot

The FTSE failed to maintain its early session strength yesterday as Wall Street weakened.

We have a confluent area of short-term support which includes the ascending trendline (gold dotted line) and the broken highs at 7,100 – we would expect the market to respond to the trendline.
