FTSE 100 Discussions

Trading FTSE 100 is soo easy compared to trading currency. Its due to the volatility is guess, currencies are far more volatile.
I am fairly bearish whilst the market is trading over 6750. Bad news is actually supporting the price on the basis that interest rate rises have been kicked into the long grass.. . But yield chases may have to reassess the situation if we get stuck in a deflationary cycle and earning disappoint.
FTSE should settle back to 6600 , what we are seeing now is an over bought portfolio and fake inflammation .
Brent at $54.75 really weighing on the Market this morning Investors obviously hoping this is short term, because Brent at $60 was enough to spook the Market down to 6150 in mid December.. . Trading on the FT only for the brave now.
Brent at sub $60 holding back FTSE 100, otherwise we could get a run at 7000. Yellen's machine gun placement at the back of the bulls halting the shorters as they broke through the ranks of bulls offers hope for 2015.
From these levels its more likely that we will yet again get our "SANTA" RALLY ?
A titanic struggle between a yield that looks favourable compared to cash and Brent at sub $60. Brent needs to start lifting to get much beyond 6600.. . A comfort to know that Yellen is at the back of the bulls wth a machine gun should the bears have the temerity to break through the ranks.
