The FTSE 100 opened higher this morning boosted by a strong rally on Wall Street. As I said recently, the S&P 500 is a wild index, it can rally for days or weeks to the point where investors will feel safe then it will sell off. The rally was driven by technology, energy and healthcare stocks. Better than expected manufacturing PMIs in Europe, UK and US also helped stocks rally.

I have important news for you Lad You Gooey . The stock market goes up and down when things happen . Yep thats it . In addition it has nothing to do with the world rally championship , what differential you have fitted in your WRC car , or steep declines on stages , or Mexican waves of spectators .

To me looks like going the other way… Real economy growth is slowing and Asian central banks are poised to start printing confetti. The shock and awe of China has dissipated… Until there are signs central banks are going to stop pumping, I can’t see another dump – perhaps a new dow high incoming shortly.
