We are though back at the important 11700 level on the Dow Jones index, and it could be a few days of mixed action whilst the next trend is confirmed. http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/morning-rundown/stocks-in-good-form-but-now-around-more-important-resistance http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/morning-rundown/stocks-in-good-form-but-now-around-more-important-resistance Fri, 29 Aug 2008 00:00:00 +0100 We have featured a few times in the last couple of years and the shares have shown good trending action within a wider trading range. There is no another pattern developing which suggests a good CFD trade from here. http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/daily-charts/aegis-ags http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/daily-charts/aegis-ags Fri, 29 Aug 2008 00:00:00 +0100 A running portfolio of current long and short recommendations http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/longs-and-shorts/recommendations-portfolio-344 http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/longs-and-shorts/recommendations-portfolio-344 Fri, 29 Aug 2008 00:00:00 +0100 The buyers have been in control this week, although volumes remain very low, but we are now at a much more important area on the Dow Jones index, and we expect to see some turbulence in coming sessions, starting today. http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/us-report/good-week-for-the-bulls-but-resistance-up-ahead http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/us-report/good-week-for-the-bulls-but-resistance-up-ahead Fri, 29 Aug 2008 00:00:00 +0100 Trading volumes have been exceptionally low in recent days, so the focus has generally been on corporate results, which in the UK have generally been fairly good. This theme looks set to continue with another busy day for statements, and we see the FTSE 100 index unchanged at the open. http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/morning-rundown/low-volumes-create-odd-surges-of-volatility-in-the-markets http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/morning-rundown/low-volumes-create-odd-surges-of-volatility-in-the-markets Thu, 28 Aug 2008 00:00:00 +0100 A running portfolio of current long and short recommendations http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/longs-and-shorts/recommendations-portfolio-343 http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/longs-and-shorts/recommendations-portfolio-343 Thu, 28 Aug 2008 00:00:00 +0100 A performance summary of the weeks' recommendations. http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/longs-and-shorts/weekly-performance-58 http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/longs-and-shorts/weekly-performance-58 Thu, 28 Aug 2008 00:00:00 +0100 As one of the most volatile mining stocks, Antofagasta throws up some excellent trading opportunities from time to time. After a clear trend change recently we see a clear short term CFD trade here. http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/daily-charts/antofagasta-anto http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/daily-charts/antofagasta-anto Thu, 28 Aug 2008 00:00:00 +0100 Although volumes remain very low, there was a solid looking rally across the board on the US yesterday, and with gathering strength on European markets, it looks like a decent session to come in the US today http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/us-report/late-rally-on-us-stocks-looks-like-following-through-today http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/us-report/late-rally-on-us-stocks-looks-like-following-through-today Thu, 28 Aug 2008 00:00:00 +0100 Yesterday saw a slight recovery in the US after Monday's mauling, and there was some better than expected economic news. Volumes though are still low, and today we have a raft of UK companies reporting, with a slightly lower start seen on the FTSE 100 index. http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/morning-rundown/better-economic-news-helps-us-stocks-but-focus-on-uk-corporate-results-today http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/morning-rundown/better-economic-news-helps-us-stocks-but-focus-on-uk-corporate-results-today Wed, 27 Aug 2008 00:00:00 +0100 A running portfolio of current long and short recommendations http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/longs-and-shorts/recommendations-portfolio-342 http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/longs-and-shorts/recommendations-portfolio-342 Wed, 27 Aug 2008 00:00:00 +0100 Shares in Enterprise Inns have generally been a one way bet over the last year, although there was a flurry of action in the other direction a month or two back. We now have another interesting set up for a short term CFD trade here. http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/daily-charts/enterprise-inns-eti-1 http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/daily-charts/enterprise-inns-eti-1 Wed, 27 Aug 2008 00:00:00 +0100 Although there was a slight bounce on US markets yesterday, investors will have one eye on the latest FDIC report suggesting a significant number of potential bank casualties in coming years. With no lead from Europe so far, we see a lower session in the US today. http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/us-report/downbeat-report-on-bank-sector-set-to-keep-downside-pressure-on-us-equities http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/us-report/downbeat-report-on-bank-sector-set-to-keep-downside-pressure-on-us-equities Wed, 27 Aug 2008 00:00:00 +0100 Last week ended strongly for financial markets as value investors looked beyond the current problems, but once again financial concerns came to the fore yesterday in the US. We therefore see a lower open in London and another volatile session. http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/morning-rundown/another-reversal-in-the-us-suggests-serious-financial-concerns-ahead http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/morning-rundown/another-reversal-in-the-us-suggests-serious-financial-concerns-ahead Tue, 26 Aug 2008 00:00:00 +0100 A running portfolio of current long and short recommendations http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/longs-and-shorts/recommendations-portfolio-341 http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/longs-and-shorts/recommendations-portfolio-341 Tue, 26 Aug 2008 00:00:00 +0100 Although volumes have not been that high in recent days, there has been a marked increase in volatility and today has seen a big fall in European markets after yesterday's drop on the Dow Jones Index. We may see an early bounce but CFD traders should remain cautious on the risk of more bad news from the financial sector. http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/us-report/european-markets-follow-in-the-slipstream-of-the-us-on-financial-concerns http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/us-report/european-markets-follow-in-the-slipstream-of-the-us-on-financial-concerns Tue, 26 Aug 2008 00:00:00 +0100 We have not seen much action this year from SSL International, a share that hit the headlines last year after some sharp price movements. The signs though are for another big move to come and it looks a good time to take a trade here for CFD players. http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/daily-charts/ssl-international-ssl http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/daily-charts/ssl-international-ssl Tue, 26 Aug 2008 00:00:00 +0100 In this week's review, we examine another currency to have fallen steeply against the dollar, the euro, and assess where this important relationship is headed next. We also comment on an increase in volatility in the crude oil market, and the reasons behind this change in action. http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/fx-and-commodities/euro-follows-sterling-down-crude-volatility-picks-up http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/fx-and-commodities/euro-follows-sterling-down-crude-volatility-picks-up Tue, 26 Aug 2008 00:00:00 +0100 Yesterday saw a second day of big rallies in the mining sector, and oil stocks were set alight by a big rise in crude prices. Given the difficulties in the financials at the moment, once again today's session could go either way and we see a rise in volatility in London. http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/morning-rundown/sector-rotation-the-name-of-the-game-as-markets-hesitate http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/morning-rundown/sector-rotation-the-name-of-the-game-as-markets-hesitate Fri, 22 Aug 2008 00:00:00 +0100 A running portfolio of current long and short recommendations http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/longs-and-shorts/recommendations-portfolio-340 http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/longs-and-shorts/recommendations-portfolio-340 Fri, 22 Aug 2008 00:00:00 +0100
