The lagging FTSE
I was having a discussion the other night with a couple of traders about why the FTSE100 was lagging compared to the other major indices. The S&P has this week breached the 1,400 level, and the German DAX went through 7,000 like a knife through butter. Yet the FTSE hasn't even been able to test 6,000. Is there a reason for this? Well, there may be many, but good ol' price action may be giving us a clue.
