FTSE 100 trades in six-week lows
On Tuesday the FTSE 100 dropped to a six-week low at 8464, to marginally above its 8427 late January low. Were it to give way, the major support zone made up of the July to December highs at 8419 to 8389 may be revisited but should hold.
Minor resistance above the 55-day SMA at 8532 sits at the 8614 late February low.

US 500 trades in six-month lows
The US 500 remains in six-month lows but tries to recover from Tuesday's low at 5527. While it underpins, the 5674 to 5696 October to November 2024 lows may be retested but are likely to act as resistance.
Were Tuesday's low at 5527 to give way on a daily chart closing basis, a more significant decline towards the August low at 5091 may be at hand.
