​​​FTSE 100 recovers amid general risk on mood

​ ​The FTSE 100 is bouncing off Wednesday’s 7,623 low amid strong earnings by the likes of Anglo American and Rolls-Royce and has so far risen to 7,700. The next higher early February 7,710 high will need to be exceeded for Tuesday’s 7,750 six-week high to be back in sight. Further up lurks the 7,769 December peak. ​A support line from the mid-February low at 7,464 comes in at 7,650 ahead of the 55-day simple moving average (SMA) and Wednesday’s low at 7,628 to 7,623.

​The Nikkei 225 surges to record high last seen 34 years ago

​The Nikkei 225’s swift ascent has taken it to a new record high, above that seen 34 years ago, with the psychological 40,000 mark being in focus. ​On the way there the 39,500 level may lead to a loss of upside momentum. ​Potential slips should find support between the 1989 previous record high at 38,957 and last week’s 38,876 high. ​While this week’s low at 38,104 underpins, the immediate bullish uptrend remains intact.
