The Hang Seng continued to sell-off in early trading but has since recovered to trade flat on the day.

The FTSE held short-term support yesterday, forming an ‘inside day’ in the process.

Given the high degree of randomness that comes with trading in the middle of a long-term range, there’s not much we can take from yesterday’s inside day other than the market is becoming tight with volatility starting to contract.
