Argento let me give yu some important tips on alsi moves.
1. Forget US
2. Watch brexit like a hawk as that effects USD/GBP which effectsFTSE which effects us as about 40% of our stcks are dual listed.
3. Most importantly and heres where most getting it wrong. A stronger dollar in old days was good for our markets because of dual listed stocks. However today the ratio of dual listed against banks and retailers has changed significantly. NOW a stronger dollar actually takes our market down as banks and retailers feel the hit, exactly like today..
Todays summary.
1. Pound strengthens, ftse down big
2. Dollar strengthens taking dual listed higher but overall market down cos if retailers and banks.
Watch for major correction in retail stocks going into next month as they just rode the NPN momentum without any serious justification of their values.
