The UK 100 is called to open +30 points this morning at 9,238. The UK 100 looks set to start the week on the front foot after US labour market numbers at the end of last week put a chunkier Federal Reserve cut on the table for this month.
The price of Brent Crude is 1% higher at $66.28 a barrel after OPEC oil ministers announced a smaller-than-expected rise in production quotas.
Stocks closed lower Stateside on Friday after a weaker-than-expected U.S. jobs report gave way to worries about a slowing U.S. economy, even as expectations for a Federal Reserve rate cut were solidified. The S&P finished the day down 0.32% at 6,481.50, while the Nasdaq declined 0.03% to settle at 21,700.39. The Dow Jones closed down 220.43 points, or 0.48%, at 45,400.86.

China’s exports expanded 4.4% year-on-year in August, General Administration of Customs data showed Monday, as the world’s second-largest economy navigated an uneasy trade war truce with the US. The increase in China’s overseas shipments last month fell below a Bloomberg forecast of 5.5%. Imports similarly did not meet expectations, growing 1.3% year-on-year in August, compared with a forecast of 3.4%.
Japan’s economy grew at a stronger rate than was previously thought, revised data showed Monday.
