The UK 100 is called to open +25 points this morning at 7400. The UK 100 looks set to open higher today after a mixed session to kick off the week yesterday. This comes after UK public borrowing has come in much lower than expected for October, but it was still the fourth highest October figure since 1993, also supported by a rebound in oil prices after Saudi Arabia denied a report that oil producers were discussing a production increase for their next meeting, saying a cut approved last month would stay in place until the end of 2023. The report yesterday in the Wall Street Journal had sent oil prices and oil stocks tumbling. But the denial saw Brent spike to around $87.60/barrel from $83.07 at the London close on Monday. At the close the Dow Jones was down 45 points, or 0.13%, at 33,700.28, the S&P slipped 15 points, or 0.39%, to 3,950 and the Nasdaq fell 122 points, or 1.1%, to 11,025
