FTSE 100 aims to recover 7100 as DAX and Dow hold near highs

While the DAX and Dow are close to their record peaks, the FTSE 100 is still struggling to hold above 7100.

FTSE 100

Another attempt by the FTSE 100 to hold above 7100 was defeated yesterday, but again buyers came in to defend 7000 and the index finds itself holding above 7050 for now. A renewed push still targets 7110 and 7167, while for the time being sellers are unable to build any momentum to drive the price back below 7000.

DAX

After bouncing from 15,500 yesterday the price finds itself holding at record highs. This puts it in a good place to renew its upward momentum, while on the flip side sellers have repeatedly failed to press home their advantage at moments of weakness, forming several higher lows on the four-hour chart that have bolstered the uptrend.

Dow

Unlike the DAX, this index failed to recover Wednesday’s highs, but it has avoided any significant downside too. Non-farms data today could well provide some more volatility, with a drop below 34,200 handing the advantage to the sellers, while above 34,800 a new leg higher beckons.

Spread bets and CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. 68% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading spread bets and CFDs with this provider. You should consider whether you understand how spread bets and CFDs work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money. 

Professional clients trading spread bets and CFDs can lose more than they deposit.

Options and futures are complex instruments which come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. They’re not suitable for most investors. Before you invest, you should consider whether you understand how options and futures work, the risks of trading these instruments and whether you can afford to lose more than your original investment.

Trading stocks and shares ‘on margin’ within a US options and futures account – meaning that you only finance part of the cost of acquiring a position in a security – carries additional risks over buying securities on a fully funded basis and may result in losses exceeding your original investment. Trading on margin will also result in additional costs to you as the investor and any securities purchased using margin may be held as collateral by the lender, restricting both your rights as shareholder, and your ability to use the securities until the margin trade is closed. You should familiarise yourself with these risks before trading on margin.

The value of shares, ETFs and other ETPs bought through a share dealing account, a US options and futures account, a stocks and shares ISA or a SIPP can fall as well as rise, which could mean getting back less than you originally put in. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Some ETPs carry additional risks depending on how they’re structured, investors should ensure they familiarise themselves with the differences before investing.
