FTSE 100 supported by buyers
The spike higher earlier on yesterday was followed by an intraday pullback, but dip buyers came in around 6980, and the FTSE 100 then pushed higher.
An area of resistance over the past week has been 7060, so a move above this would be a bullish development. Both 7100 and then 7127 come into view. A move below 6980 is needed to suggest a more bearish view has developed.
