Spread Betting on Indices, 9 Apr 2009
Relief that the supports all held yesterday has given a boost to traders this morning and buyers are continuing to fill up on stock. Early calls in the FTSE 100 were for a move 50 higher but this was swiftly smacked back down on the open. We are currently sitting at around 3950 on the FTSE up 25 on yesterday’s close.
Once again the news all appears to be grim but not quite as grim as expected. Dealers can be forgiven for taking anything that is not actually a disaster as good news, as investors and analysts try to pick through today to estimate tomorrow.
Punters are still trading the ranges and this morning we are seeing selling on the move higher in the indices as the ‘contra move’ trading strategy continues to pay good dividends. The markets are looking to confirm their comfort with the 3700 to 4150 range and, intraday, punters are taking good advantage of markets inability to break out.
Spread Betting on Indices, 8 Apr 2009
As feared in yesterday’s comment markets seemed unable to pick up on the recent move higher and the Dow traded down throughout the session to close almost 200 points off. My target support at 7730 was avoided (just) but early action this morning is seeing prices down at 7700, under the recent trend rally line, and investors will be worrying that the move higher over the past month will disappear in a puff of smoke.
One of the problems at the moment is the speed with which events unfold into price action. We are just 400 points off the recent highs in the Dow Jones and still 1300 points above the lows and yet the TV punditry and comment is all about ‘dead cat bounces’ and returns to a bear market.
In reality the markets remain very range bound and the US markets found that the 8000 to 8100 area was just too big a resistance level to get through just yet. It must be remembered that this very range acted as a very solid support in January with day after day trading and retrading the 7900 to 8200 price span. This type of price action builds up very strong volume resistance to moves in either direction.
The Far East has come in for a pounding overnight with the Nikkei 225 off 250 points and the Hang Seng fully 600 points into red territory (a fall of 4%). While action in the Orient has a disturbing tendency of being completely ignored by Europe and the US it would be a brave man who tried to pick a bottom of this little reversal just yet.
As mentioned in yesterday’s comment Credit Swaps are still very pricey and have not fallen in line with the equity market rally. This indicates that a lot of very clever people are not happy with unfolding events.
The FTSE 100 is called some 60 points off in early pre-market action at around the 3870 level as market makers try to factor in the US and Far East weakness. I would like to be able to say that this seems quite aggressive given the fact that the FTSE was looking quite firm in the face of afternoon weakness in the US. However if investors take fright then we may be in for another rout on the off.
Bottom picking is always a dangerous game but if the FTSE remains above the 3860 level for the Easter break then the momentum may be regained on everyone’s return. Unfortunately with markets closed in the UK for four days there may be a short term temptation to liquidate positions in fear of something happening whilst we are all away.
Spread Betting on Indices, 7 Apr 2009
Markets looking warm again this morning after the small sell off yesterday afternoon failed to find any follow through.
The FTSE 100 futures neatly closed the gap opened up at 3960 on last Wednesday’s close versus last Thursday’s opening (see yesterday’s comment). Punters had a good time of it yesterday holding on to index shorts in the US and UK markets until the evening and then reversing into longs for the late rally.
Today sees a bit of comfort drifting back for the bulls with the FTSE up around 25 points but the Dow Jones remains just below the psychological 8000 level and investors will be worrying that the recent failure to hold above this mark might weigh on traders sentiment. The current price of 7950 is still well up from the lows but there is the continuing fear that the G20 glamour may well turn out to be just so much fairy dust. Sentiment is a fickle thing and a move below 7730 today or 7790 tomorrow may well bring out the sellers once again.
In truth most markets are continuing to trade in the ranges set up over the last four or five months with few attempts to follow through on any break outs. Most of the currency crosses (aside from Yen) seem to have been about to break out on many occasions only to fall at the final hurdle. The Indices trade the same ground day after day and even the major commodities struggle to find impetus to clear away from constricting supports and resistances.
Spread Betting on Indices, 6 Apr 2009
Markets this morning are up but the FTSE is still struggling to make it up to the highs of Thursday at 4160 and there is a nasty little gap in the charts from Wednesday night – Thursday morning between 3960 and 3965 in the June Futures contract.
Markets made a valiant attempt to fill it on Friday getting to within 5 points of closure before the pressure from the US and Europe became too much to ignore. Nevertheless the fact remains that the DAX 30, Dow and S&P have all hit new recent highs this morning but the FTSE 100 is now 80 points shy of the peak on Thursday.
Price Update:
- The FTSE 100 closed last week up 130.8 points at 4029.7 (up 3.35%)
- Wall St (Dow) closed last week up 241.41 points at 8017.59 (up 3.1%)
- The Nasdaq closed last week up 76.67 points at 1621.87 (up 4.96%)
- The S&P 500 closed last week up 26.56 points at 842.5 (up 3.26%)
- The DAX closed last week up 181.44 points at 4384.99 (up 4.32%)
- The Nikkei closed last week up 122.87 points at 8749.84 (up 1.42%)

Spread Betting on Indices, 4 Apr 2009
Markets are actually quite peaceful this morning and this is becoming a factor of major moves these days. The next day sees a period of indecision as traders try to estimate the appetite for business at the new levels (be they higher or lower).
At the moment investors seem comfortable with the moves higher but we have seen too many attempts to the upside come to grief over the last year or so to be too overconfident just yet.
Clients are not convinced either and we have seen steady selling above 4100 in the FTSE 100 and 8000 in the Dow Jones as longs are liquidated and shorts set up. For the bulls the next target is just below 4200 in the FTSE – ie where the 1 year down trend line crosses through. Buyers have breached the medium term trend and volume resistance (which was between 3990 and 4050) and longer term investors will be hoping that more good news will be forthcoming.
Spread Betting on Indices, 2 Apr 2009
Markets look to be extending the rally of recent days and the sell-off of Friday/Monday is now a distant memory with the FTSE looking to trade above 4000 for the first time since February.
For those chartists amongst you a close around these opening quotes would also indicate a breach of one of the major downtrend lines in place since last August (and now going through at around 4000). The 4,000 level has its own psychological significance anyway and a breach may well be a big trigger to the buyers.
Having said all this, we are seeing heavy selling across all indices in early trade as punters seem unconvinced. Also, in truth, opposing extended moves in the markets over the last few months has paid substantial dividends for many a trader. The old adage of “Cut your losses and run your profits” would have cost a pretty penny in the recent past and many traders are now doing the exact opposite. At the moment it is paying off but on any real extended move clients would be in trouble.
The Dow does not seem to be getting as over enthusiastic as the FTSE as it continues to struggle to make it above the 7850 to 7920 resistance level. This area acted as strong support through January and early February and the market bounced off it 10 times in 20 twenty or so trading days.
When the support was finally breached it was the start of the big 1500 point move to the lows. If we can manage to break above 7920 (and even better 8000) confidence would take a real shot in the arm. Financial Spreads is currently quoting Wall Street at 7900-7904.
Spread Betting on Indices, 1 Apr 2009
The FTSE is a taking a more casual approach to things this morning as we expect a dip on the open of 20 points to 3900. Nothing too drastic after yesterday’s 4.3% rise. Despite a late sell off in US indices last night Europe is holding up well, especially since the end of the auto industry looks nigh. Even the new CEO of GM motors is putting a deadline on the firm.
Spread Betting on Indices, 31 Mar 2009
Yesterday’s profit taking eventually came to an end in US trade last night and although the market suffered quite a sell off yesterday with automakers and banks taking the brunt of the selling.
This morning markets are holding up well in the face of Obama’s tough stance on the US car industry.
The FTSE 100 is expected to be a little perkier this morning as we’re calling the index to open some 25 points higher at 3788.
A spark of good news came from Gfk Consumer Confidence earlier this morning. It jumped to a figure not seen since May last year showing a better than expected figure. So far this week we’ve seen a few glimmers of hope for the UK consumer and home owner. With mortgage repayments having come down, yesterday saw a saw rise in the number of mortgage approvals to 38k, when only 34k were expected. Tomorrow will see more UK housing data in the form of Halifax prices.
Spread Betting on Indices, 30 Mar 2009
Price Update:
- The FTSE 100 closed last week up 56.1 points at 3898.9 (up 1.46%)
- Wall St (Dow) closed last week up 497.8 points at 7776.18 (up 6.84%)
- The Nasdaq closed last week up 87.93 points at 1545.2 (up 6.03%)
- The S&P 500 closed last week up 47.4 points at 815.94 (up 6.17%)
- The DAX closed last week up 134.81 points at 4203.55 (up 3.31%)
- The Nikkei closed last week up 681.01 points at 8626.97 (up 8.57%)
