FTSE closes in on 9.5KUK 100 CFDFOREXCOM:UK100FOREXcomThe FTSE 100 (+0.7%) has continued to push higher along with other European indices. The UK benchmark index has actually hit a new record high today to close in on the 9,500 level. Distributor Bunzl (+4%) leads the blue chips while miners such as Fresnillo are also among the gainers amid rallying metals prices. As we have been banging on about it, the FTSE remains in a strong bullish trend and dips are continuing to be bought with resistance levels giving way. Old resistance at 9,360 is now the most important short-term support to watch. Below that 9,270 is the next key level where a trend line converges. By Fawad Razaqzada, market analyst with FOREX.com
