MARKET INSIGHT
  • In the equity space, S&P E-minis are still in a clear uptrend and traded higher yesterday just short of the next objective at 4591.25, the 1.00 projection of the Jul 19 - Aug 16 - Aug 19 price swing. Scope is also seen for a break of the 4600.00 handle. EUROSTOXX 50 futures also rallied yesterday and the focus is on key resistance at 4223.00, Sep 6 high. This also represents the bull trigger and a break would confirm a resumption of the broader uptrend and open 4290.50, 1.00 projection of the Jul 19 - Sep 6 - Oct 6 price swing.

From a short-term perspective, scope exists for an extension higher with the focus on the 50-day EMA at 1.1687. A key resistance also resides at 1.1716, a bear channel top drawn off the Jun 1 high. Initial support lies at 1.1572, Oct 18 low. GBPUSD is off its recent highs however short-term bullish conditions remain intact and corrections so far have been shallow.
