The UK 100 called to open +36 points this morning at 9.059. The UK 100 looks set to open higher again this morning after stock market sentiment was boosted by Japan’s trade deal with the US.
The S&P narrowly posted another fresh record close on Tuesday, as traders weighed the latest earnings reports and new trade developments. The broad market index ticked up 0.06% to end at 6,309.62 and notch its 11th record close in 2025. The 30-stock Dow Jones rose 179.37 points, or 0.40%, settling at 44,502.44. By contrast, the Nasdaq slipped 0.39% and closed at 20,892.69, bogged down by declines in tech stocks. It was the first negative day for the tech-heavy index in seven sessions.
JD Wetherspoon today said warm weather boosted trading after reporting a 5.1% rise in like-for-like sales for the 12 weeks to Sunday. The group, which operates 794 pubs, added that profits are in line with expectations after underlying sales lifted 5.1% in the financial year about to end. Chair Tim Martin said sales volumes have recently overtaken pre-pandemic levels. He said: “Wine, for example, has shown strong growth, with Villa Maria from New Zealand and Prosecco from Italy both shooting the lights out. Spirits have improved in recent months and whisky volumes are significantly above pre-pandemic levels. “Draught volumes are performing strongly with Guinness being the standout performer. On the food front, breakfasts, terribly slow post-pandemic, have recovered their lustre and are now well ahead.”
