Morning Report – Tuesday 24th August
FTSE to open at 7,126 (+17pts)
The S&P hit yet another record high yesterday as the index completed its comeback from last week’s sell-off with traders buoyed by the FDA giving full approval to the BioNTech/Pfizer vaccine.
Oil and other commodity prices bounced back as the US dollar weakened, which has also created a tailwind for Asian stocks to erase some of last week’s heavy losses.
| S&P 500 | +0.85% | Bullish for UK stocks |
| Hang Seng | +1.82% | Bullish for UK stocks |
| Gold | -0.02% | Neutral for UK stocks |
| AUD/JPY | +0.52% | Bullish for UK stocks |
| US 10yr Yield | -0.57% | Bearish for UK stocks |
Yesterday’s price action saw the FTSE fail to maintain its inside day breakout – closing back within Thursday’s range and creating a mildly bearish ‘fakeout’ scenario.
With the market set to open at the top of the inside day pattern, a break below yesterday’s low during the opening rotation could trigger a retest of Thursday’s lows. However, given yesterday’s strong performance on Wall Street, we should also be prepared for the market to make another attempt to break higher.
