Talking of bots, overlaying the INX and UKX charts year to date shows that one could not currently put a cigarette paper between them.

It is the Eurozone which is the weakest link.Its weakness has hammered China's exports, so there should be little surprise that it is impacting on British exports, especially given the strength of Sterling v the Euro.Draghi is said to be considering increasing liquidity.By the looks of things that cannot happen too soon.

U.K. industrial production unexpectedly declined in July and exports of goods fell the most in nine years, adding to signs of slowing momentum in economic growth.Total production fell 0.4 percent from June, the Office for National Statistics said in London on Wednesday. An increase of 0.1 percent was expected by economists in a Bloomberg survey. Sales of British goods abroad fell 9.2 percent on the month, contributing to the biggest drop in factory output since January.The figures come the day before the Bank of England releases its latest interest-rate decision. The latest data may reinforce expectations that a majority of policy makers will vote to keep borrowing costs at a record low.

But just as the strong data was ignored, it appears so it is with the weak.

The manufacturing and industrial production data posted by the UK this morning was weak. -0.8% and -0.4%.

Quite amazing that as the BA 777 got very close to V1, i.e. the point of no return, the pilots closed it down, exited the main runway and evacuated all the passengers without any serious injuries.

Those with long memories will recall the airliner catching fire when taking off from Manchester Airport almost exactly thirty years ago where a similar incident led to many fatalities.

Asian markets soared on Wednesday, and the Nikkei index topped the lot.

Closing 7.71 per cent higher at 18,771 points, Japan's key index made its biggest one-day gain in seven years.

The rebound came just one day after the index suffered a 2.4 per cent drop, which wiped off all of its gains since for the year to date.

But after yesterday's recovery, the benchmark index is now 7.6 per cent higher than it was at the start of 2015.

Over in China, investors also showed boosted confidence. The Shanghai Composite and Hang Seng were 2.32 per cent higher and 3.55 per cent higher at close, respectively.

RBS short sold shares 'not insider dealing'
BBC economics correspondent tweets...

James Leigh Pemberton of UKFI insists short-selling ahead of sale of stake in RBS in August was not caused by inside information

UKFI head James Leigh Pemberton defends sale of 5.4% RBS stake at 330p (a £1.1bn loss vs purchase price) as "good value for the taxpayer".

UKFI:"The [RBS] capital position was improved significantly. That was the first and most important thing that had to happen". SMEs take note

There is indeed a confluence of several major events China of course being one...only it is easier to raise from a 10% than a 40% correction...if you were the Fed what would you do? it's always been about that as they certainly have the ability to crush stocks by moving into an aggressive tightening bias...as I have intimated in the near past, that window is now closed so they are really in no position to do anything else...;
