FTSE 100 upwards movements short-lived
The FTSE 100 continues to cling on near the 7553 zone, but moves above this level are, for now, short-lived. A daily close above here would suggest a push to all-time highs is in play.
Coming in as potential support are 7519 and then 7448, with dips into the second half of October likely to be viewed as buying opportunities, as the Q4 rally pushes on into November and December.
