The UK 100 called to open +6 points this morning at 8,860. The UK 100 looks set for a solid start to trading today, despite further overnight threats of sector specific tariffs from US President Donald Trump.
Asia markets have posted a mixed performance, with the Nikkei 225 up 0.2% and the Hang Seng index down by 0.9%,
Meanwhile, copper prices hit a record on Tuesday after President Trump announced plans for a 50% tariff on the metal, as well as a levy of 200% on pharmaceutical imports.
The S&P ended Tuesday’s session near the flatline after President Donald Trump offered no exceptions to his Aug. 1 tariff start date. The broad market benchmark inched down 0.07%, ending at 6,225.52, while the Nasdaq added 0.03% and closed at 20,418.46. The Dow Jones slipped 165.60 points, or 0.37%, settling at 44,240.76.
Jet2 reported a 12% rise in annual pre-tax profit on Wednesday, driven by demand for its affordable holiday packages and flights. The company posted 593.2 million pounds ($805.7 million) in profit before taxation, above last year’s 529.5 million pounds. The global travel and leisure sector is on the mend, after a period of dampened demand caused by geopolitical strains and soaring costs. While summer bookings continue to be made closer to departure, customers’ eagerness to book overseas holidays remain strong, Jet2 said.
WPP today cut full-year expectations after reporting a weaker-than-expected performance in the second quarter. Chief executive Mark Read said: “Since the start of the year, we have faced a challenging trading environment with macro pressures intensifying and lower net new business. “While we expected the second quarter to be similar to the first quarter, performance in June was worse than anticipated and we expect this pattern of trading in the first half to continue into the second half.” The UK 100-listed company expects half-year revenue to be down by between 4.2% and 4.5%, including a decline of 5.5%-6% in the second quarter. The headline operating profit margin for 2025 is now set to be between 50 and 175 basis points lower, which compares with April’s forecast of a flat performance.
