The UK 100 called to open +42 points this morning at 8,758. The UK 100 looks set to open higher this morning, bouncing back from a drop off later in yesterdays trading session.
The S&P rose Thursday, led by Nvidia. But gains were restricted, with investors cautious following a salvo of judicial developments surrounding President Donald Trump’s “reciprocal” tariffs. The broad index ended the day higher by 0.4% at 5,912.17 despite climbing as much as 0.9%. The Nasdaq advanced 0.39% to 19,175.87, also well off its highest intraday gain of 1.5%. The Dow Jones added 117.03 points, or 0.28%, to finish at 42,215.73.
Asia markets have given up yesterday’s strong gains, reflecting tariffs uncertainty after a US appeals court overturned an earlier ruling that the levies were unlawful. The Nikkei 225 is down by 1% and the Hang Seng index off 1.4%, while futures trading are pointing to a flat start on Wall Street later today.
M&G unveils strategic tie-up, targets $6bn new business.

As asset management partner for Dai-ichi Life HD in Europe, M&G expects the alliance will deliver $6 billion of new business flows over the next five years. As well as accelerating its expansion in European private markets, the move opens new potential sources of business flows across Asia. Dai-ichi Life HD intends to acquire a shareholding of about 15% in M&G as part of the deal, giving it the right to appoint a director to the board.
