Spreadex Market Update

European equities rallying hard into the close 



European equities have once again performed their afternoon magic trick; rallying hard into the close from what was looking like a dismal day. This theme of risk off in the morning to risk on at some point during the afternoon, normally after the US open, is becoming established. Participants are wary of valuations and are quick to hit sell at any sign of weakness. But this hasn’t been enough to halt net inflows later in the session. A weak start followed by a strong finish is normally a good sign for the equity market.

The FTSE 100 closed out the day at 6830.5, down 35 points, and the Dow is currently unchanged. Gold is once again trading higher, now selling for $1,343 for April delivery. The dollar is marginally weaker against major pairings.
