Essential FTSE levels to watch

The selling continues on everything UK focused.

Unemployment figures fantastic. Real wages looked OK to me, although I can see some had hoped for better.

Slowly the slack is being taken out of the economy. A bit further to go yet I think. I think there's still some people under-employed and more slack that the BOE realises.

The price of oil and cable concerns me, in that it is likely to cause inflationary pressures.

It feels like the economy is getting there. The market doesn't care though. It's more concerned about the uncertainty around Brexit. I wish we could get to a decision either way.

I think Trumpism is playing a large part in the market's decisions.

I wish somebody would write his obituary.

Good morning!

Good morning. Agree Fred. On reflection I think alot of yesterday's falls were due to Trump and Turkey

GLA. Inflation data today.

Getting a bit fed up with these red candles

wtf was that all about today.

Considering FTSE down 130 my portfolio doesn't look so bad. A losing day is a losing day though...

What strikes me as odd today, is the number of shares with prices down but buy to sell volumes up!

Good morning!

Good Afternoon.

An horrendous 4 and a half hour journey (125 miles) back from the New Forest.

Sorry to hear that Skinny.


On other matters
Anyways, it's impolite to moan but when will the banks stop falling? It's annoying me.

Could someone have a word with the trading gods please?

Or perhaps our government could make some actual progress on Brexit!

Can someone tell me how many punters are shorting LLOYD's and to what extent?

Fred - I use this site and it doesn't list LLOY - I'm not sure whether that's an error or there are no shorts held.

According to shorttracker, there is no-one shorting it (with a holding greater than 0.5% of the share capital)

I don't think it's shorting Fred. I think it's genuine selling and it's across just about anything UK economy focused.

We will wake up one day and it will all look different.

Skinny,

Thanks.

I had already tried it.

I wonder why it isn't listed?

CC.

The company isn't listed on Skinny's site. Others with less than 0.5% are.

You are probably right.

The banks managed to get their arse off the floor in that last hour. Still not looking great but at least not down on the day

CC.

Might cheer you up a little.
