Angela’s ashes

Coalition talks break down

Yesterday, Sunday, at 23:00 GMT Christian Democrats main alliance hopeful


the Free Democrats (FDP) walked out of talks which included the Greens
saying, ‘it’s better not to govern than to govern badly’. Both the Chancellor
and the German Chambers of Commerce said they were disappointed by this.

Embattled Japanese firm Toshiba, with billions of dollars of liabilities linked to


its US nuclear power operations, has decided to issue 600 Billion yen (£4
billion) in new shares to 60 overseas investors. This will result in earnings per
share halving but it also means that the company will not face delisting from
the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

FTSE 100

March.

POSITION TAKER: Square.

SUPPORT RESISTANCE

2515 and more realistically 2460.

POSITION TAKER: Square.

SUPPORT RESISTANCE

EURO/US DOLLAR

IG Index chart

Bouncing quite sharply from the watershed level around 1.1600 though
momentum is bearish. A report by the ECB on revisions to the Union crisis
management framework stated: ‘covered deposits and claims under investor
compensation schemes [€100,000] should be replaced by limited
discretionary exemptions to be granted by the competent authority in order to
retain a degree of flexibility’.

SHORT TERM TRADER: Square.

POSITION TAKER: Square.

SUPPORT RESISTANCE

1.1725 1.1800
