FTSE 100 continues to range trade with a bullish bias
The FTSE 100 continues to sideways trade above the 55-day simple moving average (SMA) at 8,213 but below Tuesday’s high at 8,314. A rise above this level would put the early June high at 8,364 on the map. A fall through Friday’s low at 8,187 could provoke a sell-off to the 8,138 last May low, though.

S&P 500 resumed its ascent
The S&P 500 has regained recently lost ground and attacks its Monday peak at 5,491, above which lurks its all-time high at 5,517. This short-term bullish view will be maintained while Monday’s low at 5,444 underpins. Currently unexpected failure there could lead to the mid-June low at 5,393 being revisited.
