Morning Report – Wednesday 15th December

FTSE to open at 7,212 (-7 pts)

Wall Street weakened yesterday as traders grew nervous ahead of this afternoon’s Fed rate decision, economic projections and FOMC statement…

The Fed’s rhetoric has been hawkish in recent weeks, and markets expect a quicker end to its bond-buying scheme along with multiple rate increases over the next few years.

This morning’s UK inflation data came in well ahead of expectations with producer input prices jumping 14.3% year-on-year, producer output prices rising 9.1% year-on-year, and the Retail Price Index increasing 7.1% year-on-year.

S&P 500-0.75%Bearish for UK stocks
Hang Seng-1.19%Bearish for UK stocks
Gold-0.15%Neutral for UK stocks
AUD/JPY+0.31%Bullish for UK stocks
US 10yr Yield+2.17%Bearish for UK stocks

The FTSE failed to maintain its bounce from support during yesterday’s session. And this morning’s strong UK inflation data has caused the FTSE futures to move below support.

We have a small interim level of support at 7,181 (see thin blue dotted line on chart below), the market really needs to find a footing today to rule out a retest of the early-December lows.
