​​​FTSE 100 bid after Bank holiday weekend

​The FTSE 100 has resumed its advance and nears its mid-August high at 8,374. Further up lies the early August peak at 8,404 which also remains in sight.

​Immediate upside pressure should be maintained while last week’s low at 8,240 holds. Below it meanders the 55-day simple moving average (SMA) at 8,224.

S&P 500 side-lined 1% below July record high

​The S&P 500's rally from the 5 August low at 5,091, last week ending just shy of a 20-year winning streak, has reached 5,650 as of Monday and thus trades within a percent of its all-time high at 5,669, made in July.

​While last week’s low at 5,562 holds, the immediate uptrend remains intact.​​
