FTSE 100 tests two-year lows
The FTSE 100 has dropped back to support around 6840, with a swift drop last night taking it to 6768.
It has rallied from this low, but any bounce is likely to run into resistance around 6870. Below 6840 the price heads towards 6640 and then 6519. A bullish view would require a move above 6920, which might suggest a push back to 7100 is in the offing.
