FTSE 100 fails to escape trade tensions
The FTSE 100 has suffered a sharp reversal over the past 24 hours, falling back from 7700.
The price continues to hold the rising trendline from the March lows, so buying may develop around 7610. The next areas to watch for possible support are 7540 and then 7490. A renewed push higher targets 7706, with a close above here suggesting further bullish strength.
