FUTURES<\/p>\n
#FTSE #DowJones The first full week of the year has been interesting from many perspectives. We have witnessed the FTSE 100 close above the 10,000 point level and even surge to above the 10,100 point. Even the Dow Jones joined the party, making its way above 49,000 points and the DAX in Germany brought some fizzy drinks to celebrate cracking the 25,000 point level. Even Toronto in Canada, despite their political leadership, managed\u00a0 a series of All Time Highs, All this while Mr Trump decides to lift Venezuela from poverty, along with ensuring a flow of oil to currently mothballed US refineries which previously handled Venezuelan product.<\/p>\n
Despite headlines, the renewed production from the worlds largest oil reserves is anticipated to promote reversals in the price of crude oil. Though it’s probably a good idea to stockpile supplies of illegal narcotics as the price is sure to head upward!<\/p>\n
As for the FTSE itself, it joined other flamboyant indices by experiencing slight reversals, drops blamed on the American adventures to the south. Politically, Russia dare say nothing about it and China, eyeing Taiwan, is doubtless being extremely reticent with any condemnation. And of course, for the months ahead, the USA also has Greenland to contend with, a potentially hilarious movement with potentials reminiscent of “The Duchy of Grand Fenwick”. All things considered, 2026 is brewing up to be fascinating. Our suspicion is Denmark shall abruptly grant Greenland its freedom – a common theme amongst ALL political party’s in Greenland – with the new country immediately becoming a “protectorate” of the United States. Unfortunately, such a stance is liable to grant Greenland the ability to compete in the Eurovision Song Contest and arguably give the USA a toehold in the competition…<\/p>\n
Our suspicion is current reversals on the FTSE shall prove “fake”, inevitable market posturing on a FTSE which appears destined to hit 10,425 points before some serious hesitation becomes probable. The index currently needs below 9.800 points to spoil such optimism for the longer term. And from an immediate perspective, it appears movement above 10,065 should promote travel up to an initial 10, 128 with our secondary, if exceeded, at 10,152 points. And should a serious break to the heavens be planned, above 10,184 calculates as almost inevitable to provoke sharp growth.\u00a0 If triggered, the tightest stop looks like 10,030 points, a socially acceptable number.<\/p>\n
Should things intend go a bit wrong, below 10,008 risks triggering reversals to an initial 9,980 with our secondary, if broken, a less confident sounding 9,933 points.<\/p>\n
