After an unsuccessful morning try of clearance over the week high, in the last minutes of the session slightly higher initiative show bears. As a result, the WIG20 index went below 1,740 pts. The behavior of our market presents a detachment from the environment where demand is trying to keep the indexes in the vicinity of neutral. European indexes, the Dax and the CAC40 are listed on delicate pros. In this context, the decline in WIG20 by 0.5%, once again has reflected the weakness of the local market and at the same time resistance to the increases.

The half of the session is behind us, and the turnover on the WIG20 index is only PLN 172 mln. It is clearly seen, that the demand side is absent. Unfortunately, scrubbing in the mid-session on its minima forecasts rather more trouble in the second part of the day.

The WIG20 futures started trading with a slight indication on a plus, which distinguishes us from other European parquets, where the morning shows indication of contracts rather with cosmetic changes down.

The WIG20 index started from increase by 0.33% to 1,756 points. As might be expected spot market is opening with advantage of increases and the WIG20 is close the peaks of this week. Their eventual break-up would open the way for the closing "after-brexit" gap from last Friday. Unfortunately, a little bothered is the weaker-than-expected reading of the PMI index for Polish industry, which cosmetically falling from 52.1 points. to 51.8 pts., what is slightly disappointing.

Today's session begins the next month and the next half-year on the markets. The current week has brought the global improvement in sentiment and yesterday's session on Wall Street was another successful one, which resulted in the increase of the US indexes of more than 1%. The impact on this has probably the situation on the currency market, the weakening of the pound after the speech of Mark Carney, the head of the Bank of England, signaled the need for loosening monetary policy this summer. The Euro also weakened after the news of Bloomberg about the possibility of easing bond purchases conducted by the ECB. As a result of growth in the US market losses from Friday have been almost entirely made up and in the morning it should support the Warsaw Stock Exchange, which had no opportunity to react to it. The index in Shanghai maintains a relatively neutral stance, while other Asian parquets are on the gain. This day will show whether the Warsaw market will react positively to the global improvement or remain resistant, which we experienced in recent days.
