Opening Market Summary

Any views?

Really interesting chart Skinny. I think you are far better at charts than me but I see it being driven into the wedge with the wedge having a 200pt range as of today which needs to narrow before it will break one way or the other.

I want it to break up but I don't like the way the 50MA has crossed the 200MA

Overall I think FTSE keeps getting driven down by worrying macroeconomic news, which I don't think will necessarily follow into poor company results.

Not sure of the timeframe but I see FTSE breaking up when it's ready. My opinion is not so much based on the chart but more based on company fundamentals

U.S. stock futures slump

Midday Report

CC - I can't disagree with any of your post - FTSE looks to have bounced again from the point - double bottom on the daily so far!.

I've had better days but it can go up as fast as it can go down.

I would say it's oversold down here. The month of August is historically a bad one.
