FTSE 100 retested but was then rejected by the 8,000 region
The FTSE 100 on Thursday tried to regain the 8,000 mark but fell just short of this level before dropping towards its March-to-April uptrend line as some Fed officials raised doubts on the timing of potential rate cuts this year.
The two-month uptrend line at 7,856 has been probed in early morning trading ahead of today’s key US Non-Farm Payrolls report.A fall through Friday’s intraday low at 7,856 would put the December to mid-March highs at 7,786 to 7,769 back on the cards.
Minor resistance can be encountered at the 22 March high at 7,962.
