FTSE 100 edging higher in early trading- another record on the cards today?

Yesterday the FTSE 100 did eventually remove the chance of a double top on the daly charts, when it rose above 8,533. The index rose to set a new all time record high, at 8,548.59, before later setting another record daily close, at 8,520.54. The index has just now reopened for live trade and it lifted slightly in early trading, pushing towards 8,535. The UK jobs data, released earlier was not that supportive and neither is the lower oil price since this time yesterday. So, it will be interesting to see, if another record is on the cards today, or the index reacts to that which surrounds it. There is one supporting factor elsewhere though and that is the immediate drop back in the GBP/USD so far this this morning
