Morning Report – Wednesday 7th April

FTSE to open at 6,852 (+28 pts)

US stocks took a well-earned pause for breath yesterday following a burst to new highs earlier in the week. While US bond yields have continued to retreat from highs – cooling the markets inflationary concerns.

Asian stocks have had a mixed session with Hong Kong’s Hang Seng erasing some of Monday’s gains and the Japanese Nikkei in small positive territory.

Regency Risk Barometer Snapshot

?Risk Barometer Explained

The FTSE broke and closed above the key resistance level at 6,800 that we’ve highlighted for several months. This is clearly a bullish sign and has potentially opened the door for a retest of the New Year highs at 6,961.

We still need to be on guard for a false breakout scenario, whereby the market closes back below resistance during today’s session – creating a ‘two-bar fakeout’ pattern. However, probabilities favour the long side, and if we see strength during today’s opening rotation then this could lead to an acceleration in buying pressure.
