Anyone scalping the FTSE Futures??

American indices closed lower on the last day of the year, breaking the upward trend started in mid-December and that allowed the S&P to appreciate 8% in 6 sessions. Falling US stocks may be explained by a number of factors. The first is that many fund managers, who were able to follow the positive performance of the US stock market during 2014, realized capital gains, thereby creating selling pressure. This trend was particularly visible in the utilities sector, which was the best performer of the year with a rise of 24,28%. The second is that other investors materialized, for tax purposes, capital losses which had in some titles. The third and final reason was the fall of the oil traded in New York, who led their sector to a loss of 0.80% in the session, accumulating a decline of 10% in 2014, which deeply contrasts with the recovery of 11,40% of S&P. The effect of these factors was boosted by the lack of liquidity typical of this season. The economic data did not have any impact on the session. Today, many investors are still on vacation, so the volume should be reduced. Still, the publication of economic data, including the ISM index, which measures manufacturing activity in the country, should be closely monitored.
