This is getting annoying now. :mad:

I'm still short on the ftse and its doing a lot of nothing right now, which means I'm getting hit by the dividend adjustments!

Whatcha gonna do - it's the ftse, it's going to go down.

I'm a fan of the "Postman k.o.d* indicator" - the timing's sometimes a bit off but generally speaking it's profitable:p

Short ftse at 7755 from yesterday evening....stop in at b/e this a.m

Is it safe to scalp on FTSE using CFD contracts? Or its better to trade directly with underlying instrument?

European stock markets ended higher, with utilities among the best performers. French Suez reported results that were well received by investors, with revenues surpassing forecasts. Its shares gained 3.60%. Also the stocks of retailers stood out positively, favored by the behavior of the online retailer Ocado. However, the rise in the price of oil benefited the respective sector. Total rose more than 1%. According to CNBC, the French oil company is considering abandoning its activity in Iran. In the telecommunications sector, the Dutch company Altice advanced 12%, with the news that SFR, its French division, showed signs of recovery in the first three months of the year.
 
In the pre-opening, the European indices rehearsed in different directions, in a context of intensification of the geopolitical tensions, after the declarations of the North American President. The debt market will continue to be monitored after the 10-year U.S. treasury yield have peaked at seven-year highs. On the other hand, the rise in the price of oil (favored by strong demand and continued cuts in production by OPEC) is expected to continue to influence its sector and the market as a whole.

...and now Postie?

I'm still short from 7795 and added another at 7845 for my sins....:p

I can't help thinking that the Chinese bomber trials on those reclaimed atolls is going to make for some fine volatility when the world realises the full implications....in days or weeks IMO but probably not months.
 
In the pre-opening, the European indices continued to rise, reflecting the positive developments in trade relations between the US and China. However, the activity of European markets will be less than usual due to the celebration of Pentecost Day in mostly Protestant countries like Germany and Switzerland. Even so, an initial positive reaction is likely from the sectors most prone to exports (especially to China) such as the automobile, mining, industrial, and others. After this reaction, European investors will focus on two interrelated themes: sovereign yields and the evolution of the political situation in Italy.
