Morning Report – Wednesday 12th May

FTSE to open at 6,929 (-19 pts)

It’s been a quiet Asian session, as markets tread water ahead of today’s US inflation data (see calendar below).

As can be seen from our risk barometer (below), the S&P continued its recent weakness, while other asset classes are in neutral territory as we head into European trading.

S&P 500-0.87%Bearish for UK stocks
Hang Seng+0.17%Neutral for UK stocks
Gold-0.23%Neutral for UK stocks
AUD/JPY-0.26%Neutral for UK stocks
US 10yr Yield-0.44%Neutral for UK stocks
Regency Risk Barometer Snapshot

?Risk Barometer Explained

The FTSE found support at last week’s swing lows – a level which coincides with the ascending trendline.

Given the strength of yesterday’s sell-off, probabilities are not in favour of swift bounce-back. Instead, we would expect to see some sideways consolidation near the trendline and the April swing lows at 6,850.
