The UK 100 is called to open +5 Points this morning at 9,432. The UK 100 look set to steady this morning, having sold off heavily on Friday afternoon, as part of a much wider global market fall, following comments by US President Donald Trump, who, has since suggested “It will all be fine”.
U.S. stock futures rose Sunday night, rebounding from Friday’s sell-off after President Donald Trump said trade relations with China “will all be fine.” Dow Jones Industrial rose by 358 points, or 0.8%. S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq-100 futures climbed 1% and 1.2%, respectively.
This comes after stocks settled decidedly lower after a rapid decline on Friday following President Donald Trump’s threat of higher tariffs on China, in which he accused the country of “becoming very hostile” with its restrictions on rare earth metals, a key resource for the tech and defence industries. Stocks accelerated selling into the close, with the Dow Jones closed down 878.82 points, or 1.9%, at 45,479.60. The S&P lost 2.71% to settle at 6,552.51, while the Nasdaq fell 3.56% to 22,204.43. The broad-based index’s decline was the largest since April 10. Prior to Trump’s comments, stocks were sizably higher, with the Nasdaq hitting a new all-time intraday high. “I was to meet President Xi in two weeks, at APEC, in South Korea, but now there seems to be no reason to do so,” said Trump in a post on Truth Social. “One of the policies that we are calculating at this moment is a massive increase of tariffs on Chinese products coming into the United States of America.”
Lloyds Banking Group today disclosed it is setting aside an additional £800 million to cover the cost of motor finance redress. The move takes its total provision to £1.95 billion, which covers operational costs. The lender said the move reflects the increased likelihood of a higher number of historical cases being eligible for redress, including those dating back to 2007. The update follows last Tuesday’s FCA consultation paper on motor finance redress, which pointed to an overall industry cost of about £11 billion.
Shawbrook today confirmed its intention to float on the London stock market. The initial public offering (IPO), which is planned to take place in early November, is set to raise £50 million of net proceeds for the company. Shawbrook said its loan book continued to grow strongly and now stood at £18.3 billion, compared with £17 billion at the end of June. The listing move, which comes after Friday’s IPO confirmation by Princes Group, is reportedly set to value the specialist lender at £2 billion.
