The UK 100 is called to open +15 points at 9914. The UK 100 looks set to extend its winning streak this morning, having added 230 points in the last two days.
Yesterday the Dow Jones rallied to a fresh closing record Tuesday, while the Nasdaq struggled as investors moved money away from technology stocks into other parts of the market that traded at lower valuations. The 30-stock Dow rose 559.33 points, or 1.18%, to close at 47,927.96, with those on Wall Street buying up shares of various blue-chip names, including health care giants Merck, Amgen and Johnson & Johnson. The S&P also rose 0.21% to finish at 6,846.61. However, the tech-heavy Nasdaq lost 0.25% to settle at 23,468.30.
Asian markets are mostly positive this morning, with Japan’s Nikkei up 0.4%, the Hang Seng up 0.9% in Hong Kong and India’ Sensex rising 0.8%, though in China’s Shanghai Composite is slightly in the red.
BAE Systems today said it had traded in line with July’s upgraded guidance, with £27 billion of orders secured so far and further agreements seen before the year-end. The defence group said: “Our order backlog, pipeline of work on incumbent positions and expanding opportunities for new work provide good visibility for long-term growth.”
Experian on Wednesday projected a full-year revenue growth of 11%, at the top-end of its outlook, as the world’s largest credit-reporting firm benefits from a nascent recovery in U.S. lending and robust demand for its consumer services.
SSE today unveiled a £33 billion five-year investment plan in a move that significantly increases its exposure to UK electricity networks. The proposals, which represent a trebling of investment over the period to 2030, will see 80% or £27 billion spent in regulated UK electricity networks and around 20% or £6 billion in renewables and system flexibility, Chief executive Martin Pibworth said: “Our world is rapidly electrifying, and we need to build, connect and transport ever greater volumes of homegrown power to homes and businesses to power the digital age.” SSE also announced a placing of shares with institutional investors in a move set to raise proceeds of £2 billion.
Taylor Wimpey became the latest British homebuilder on Wednesday to report softer sales growth during the key autumn selling season, as potential buyers hold back purchases amid fears of further property tax hikes in the upcoming budget. The company’s weekly net private sales rate dropped to 0.63 per outlet for the June 30 to November 9 period, from 0.71 a year earlier. “Market conditions remain challenging, impacted by uncertainty ahead of the upcoming UK budget and continued affordability pressures,” CEO Jennie Daly said in a statement. Renewed affordability pressures and fears of property tax hikes in the November 26 budget have led to a broader slowdown in UK housing sales, compounding challenges for Taylor Wimpey. The company swung to a first-half pretax loss in July and cut its annual profit forecast due to one-off charges. As of November 9, its order book excluding joint ventures stood at 7,253 homes, down from 7,771 homes last year. However, the company stuck to its annual operating profit forecast of about 424 million pounds and maintained expectations for UK home completions in the range of 10,400 to 10,800.
