FTSE / DOW YTD

Any idea what caused that FTSE spike?




CC - in all honesty, I doubt these days that the Trader's room would be of much use.

Most members that post do so on both boards.

Here is a screen shot of the current Trader's room BB.

Afternoon All!!

Thanks Skinny. Not much point in subscribing to the trader's room then.

As for the FTSE spike it was extremely odd. Sudden volume went through on a number of FTSE100 stocks but not all of those I was watching. Whoever placed the order just ripped straight through the order book. Fat finger? Some algo reading the news?

USD Core Retail Sales m/m 0.5% 0.3% -0.2%

USD Retail Sales m/m 0.6% 0.3% -0.2%

USD Empire State Manufacturing Index 25.2 10.1 9.8

USD Import Prices m/m 0.1% 0.1% -0.2%

I wasn't actually at my desk at the time, but the FTSE is showing a high of 7.399.35, but IG show 7419.8 and CMC 7418.82 - very strange.
