The UK 100 called to open +52 points this morning at 8,810. The UK 100 looks set to open higher, bouncing back from a fall late in trading yesterday, while oil prices have plunged after President Donald Trump revealed that a ceasefire between Israel and Iran had been agreed, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has this morning confirmed that they have agreed to a ceasefire with Iran.
Shortly after the closing bell in European markets, Iran launched missiles at a US air base in Qatar, though it turned out that the attack was well telegraphed and Qatar had been given notice to allow air traffic to be suspended.
At just after 11pm London time, Trump posted: “CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE! It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a Complete and Total CEASEFIRE (in approximately 6 hours from now, when Israel and Iran have wound down and completed their in progress, final missions!), for 12 hours, at which point the War will be considered, ENDED!
“Officially, Iran will start the CEASEFIRE and, upon the 12th Hour, Israel will start the CEASEFIRE and, upon the 24th Hour, an Official END to THE 12 DAY WAR will be saluted by the World.”
The Dow Jones added 374.96 points, or 0.89%, ending at 42,581.78. The S&P gained 0.96% and closed at 6,025.17, while the Nasdaq climbed 0.94% and settled at 19,630.97.
Bunzl announced that its trading is in line with expectations, with a 4% increase in group revenue at constant exchange rates compared to the previous year, driven by acquisitions. The company has agreed to acquire Solupack, a Brazilian distributor, to enhance its offerings in the food industry, pending regulatory approval. Bunzl’s operating margin is expected to remain stable, and the company is focused on improving performance in its largest markets. The acquisition aligns with Bunzl’s strategy of compounding growth and navigating economic uncertainties through diversification.
Diageo announced this morning that it has agreed to the sale of Diageo operation Italy.
