​​​FTSE 100 back above 8100

​The FTSE 100 index has continued to recover from the lows of the week. It now finds itself back above 8100, and thus above the support zone of June and July.

​Further gains target the 8300 level and then on to 8400. A close back below 8050 would suggest some additional near-term weakness.

​S&P 500 fills Monday’s gap

​Another leap higher yesterday means that the S&P 500 index has now filled the gap down from Monday.

​This bullish development puts the S&P 500 on course for more gains, towards 5400 and then 5560 from late July. Sellers will need a reversal back below 5200 to negate the bullish outlook.
