FTSE 100, DAX 40 and S&P 500 pause advance ahead of US non-farm payrolls, hourly earnings and unemployment report.
FTSE 100 consolidates in six-week highs
The FTSE 100 has risen to a six-week high at 8389 on Tuesday, within a whisker of the 8397 October peak, before range trading below these levels. Slightly above these levels lie the early and late August highs which can be found at 8404-8419. If bettered following United States (US) non-farm payrolls, the 8500 mark would be in sight.
Minor support can still be seen between the late October and last week’s 8326-8319 highs. While the last reaction lows on the daily chart down to 8311 underpin, the short-term uptrend remains intact.
