25th July 2013
FTSElytics
The UK will release its second quarter GDP figures today and economists are forecasting 0.6% growth. This is a positive increase from 0.3% seen in the first 3 months. The UK market has had its ups and downs, as have all equity markets, but it has managed to rally 5.4% in the month of July with the index having increased by 8.4% overall this year to date. The corrections or pullbacks in the market, whether healthy or not, are aggressive and somewhat very worrying for the “average Joe investors.” In one month the FTSE managed to give up all of its gains for the year trading a low of 6025 before the bounce. What I am trying to get at here is any investor who got sucked in that the market was only going north, saw their investments plummet. The market moves currently are not being created by real money, they are being buoyed by cheap cash and low rates and when this gets pulled they will sink like a rock.
富时100指数分析
英国今天将公布第二季度GDP数据,而经济学家预期GDP增长为0.6%。这与第一季度0.3%的增长率相比积极。和所有股票市场一样英国市场也起起落落,但它成功地在7月上涨5.4%,2013年到迄今为止富时100指数已经上涨8.4%。市场的修正或回调,无论健康与否,都是大跨度的,对普通投资者者来说是令人担忧的。在一个月内,富时100指数设法回吐今年所有涨幅,交易于低点6025,随后又价格又反弹。我在这是想看着那些沉浸在一直上涨的市场中的投资者,看着他们的投资骤然下跌。目前市场走势并不是由真正投入的钱支撑的,而是廉价资金和低利率所促使的,当这些被撤走后,市场就会像岩石一样下沉。
