The UK 100 is called to open +16 points this morning at 9,313. The UK 100 looks set to open higher this morning, despite data out this morning that showed The UK economy stalled in July. The flat performance, which was in line with City forecasts, followed growth of 0.4% in the previous month. The three-month average rate was recorded at 0.2%, with the year-on-year level slightly below forecast at 1.4%. The flat GDP performance followed a poor month for the industrial and manufacturing sectors after separate figures showed that output declined by 0.9% and 1.3% respectively. Their weakness was offset by a stronger-than-expected month in construction after output rose by 2.4%.
Stateside yesterday, saw stocks rise as traders anticipated that the latest reading of a key consumer inflation gauge won’t stand in the way of the Federal Reserve lowering its benchmark interest rate next week. The Dow Jones finished up 617.08 points, or 1.36%, at 46,108.00, while the S&P ended up 0.85% at 6,587.47. The Nasdaq advanced 0.72% to 22,043.07. All three major averages scored new intraday all-time highs in the trading day and closed at record levels. It was a confusing batch of numbers, with the consumer price index reading for August coming in hotter than expected on a monthly basis but in line with expectations on an annual basis.
In Asian this morning, the momentum of the tech sector helped Japan’s Nikkei 225 rally by 1% in today’s session, while the Hang Seng index in Hong Kong improved 1.5%.
