Capital Spreads morning insight: Little interest from bargain hunters PDF Print E-mail

Spread Betting Companies presents the morning market call from Capital Spreads.


So this morning equity markets are seeing little interest from the bargain hunters as they commence the day on a flat footing with the FTSE around 5910. 

Capital Spreads say their spread betting clients have been tentatively buying into the FTSE but not to the same extent that we’ve seen in the past following similar falls, so maybe this time round they think things have further to go.

Simon Denham, boss of spread betting company Capital Spreads says:

"Today’s major focus is the non farm payroll data from the US.  The big figure is expected to come in at around 185-95k so it would seem that to stop the rot of this little sell off investors will want to see a much better than expected number. 

"There’s no question now that the recovery in the US labour market is well established, but now the test is whether it can be maintained.  The robust manufacturing sector, assisted by an ever falling dollar is one of the main contributors to the strength in job creation and the more the dollar falls, the more US manufactures will rub their hands. 

"The overall unemployment rate is expected to remain below the 9% mark at 8.8%.

"The US dollar benefited once again for the risk aversion across currency markets. 

"The Aussie dollar in particular has had it tough in the last three trading sessions feeling the brunt of the commodity sell off.  Often falling such falls the Aussie has subsequently drifted sideways for some time so we could well see a consolidation with the major resistance level of 1.1000 remaining intact. 

"This morning AUD/USD is seeing a decent bounce taking it back to 1.0700.  The pair is still capped by a downward trend line so needs to get back above 1.0750 to break the recent weakness and in the near term resistance and support levels are 1.0795/830 and 1.0600/525 respectively."
