Spreadex Market Update

Quiet Thanksgiving Thursday sees markets continue Wednesday’s gains




After George Osborne’s Autumn Statement helped the FTSE to some solid housing sector-inspired gains yesterday the UK index will be aiming to continue its crawl back to the 6400 mark this morning. Currently up by around 20 points the FTSE, which sees no notable data this Thursday, will be reliant on the performance of its commodity stocks. For the moment, at least, things are looking better than normal; a near 2.5% rebound from copper has lifted the mining sector which, led by Anglo American, had threatened to spoil the index’s gains on Wednesday. Now they just need to remain in the green for the rest of the day…

Following some astonishing gains yesterday afternoon the DAX has continued to rally this morning, jumping another 65 points to hit a fresh 15 week high. The CAC is slightly more reserved, rising by around 10 points to cross the 4900 mark it abandoned last week. Still to come is the Eurozone’s M3 money supply figure, expected to remain at 4.9% for the 2nd month in a row, and the Gfk German consumer climate number, forecast to fall from 9.4 to 9.2.
