Bloomberg FTSE futures only 7412 - albeit up 0.58% - Asia mostly up but les than 1% - gold is down - oil is up - but if the trade wars is ending the reaction seems to be a bit underwhelming at the moment.
Morning Was. Futures pulled back to flat, Asia down, Oil flat, Gold boom again, trade war toggle button switched back on again. This is looking like a deliberate game to me but you've got to be in it to win it I guess..
Morning all, oil down, Nasdaq down, futures down (though not a very reliable indicator lately, mortgage data to come), gold up. Looking no further than gold miners at the moment. RSG not trading yet ?
Ftse dropped on the result of the 4th ballot and I thought that's odd because the markets love a hard Brexit - but futures jumped after hours on the results of the 5th - with the elimination of Gove - which explains it. Tbh I wouldn't trust Gove as far as I could throw him - but much the same goes for Johnson - obviously the market doesn't think that way - LOL. Anyway US indexes have turned around now - looking good for tomorrow - and just look at the beautiful shiny stuff - climbing like a 10 year old ! Should be a good day tomorrow. Take care all...
HI all, so yesterday futures up FTSE down - today futures down at the moment... Gold - massive - oil tagging along for the ride. £ down. Futures have been wrong a few times lately - but yes gold looks like its golden today.
Yep - big gap up first thing but historically what happens on Wednesday mornings hasn't reflected what happens on Wednesday afternoons. Tuesday looked like it would be flat until first news - then Tuesday went back to being a Tuesday - one way all day. Everything points to Wednesday being a Wednesday - split down the middle. ATB Was.
Morning Was - futures up on close, down on yesterday - gold up but really flat - oil down - recent trend is Tuesdays have been a one way journey - up or down all day - until last week that gapped and then stayed flat. All the patterns appear to be changing now - though yesterday did end up where it gapped to and didn't move a large amount, it did wobble. Maybe its the end of getting payback on my analysis - or maybe its the start of a new pattern of gap and flat - afterall, no geopolitical change expected until the next free buffet holiday for the superrich.
So looking at my recent tracking - gap up Monday morning meant flat after that - at least Friday did stay flat after the gap down so not like previous down days.
Yep ASX didn't do to well either - futures up but that was the case on Friday and by the time I got out of the docs it was the market feeling sick. Oil up gold down futures up - so indicates a blue day - and after 3 bad days that always feels wrong - but that's what it points to at the moment.
