The UK 100 is called to open +38 points at 9,647. The UK 100 looks set to extend its winning run on the open today, being called points higher. In focus today will be the budget, scheduled for 12.30pm, where Rachel Reeves will attempt to bridge a fiscal black hole estimated to be between £20 billion and £30 billion.
The Dow Jones closed higher on Tuesday following another winning session, with traders evaluating expectations of a Federal Reserve interest rate cut and the state of the artificial intelligence trade. The blue-chip index advanced 664.18 points, or 1.43%, to close at 47,112.45. The S&P gained 0.91% to settle at 6,765.88, while the Nasdaq climbed 0.67% to finish at 23,025.59. That marks a turnaround from the losses seen earlier in the day. At session lows, the S&P 500 was down about 0.7%, while the Dow and tech-heavy Nasdaq dropped more than 100 points, or 0.2%, and more than 1%, respectively.
Asia stock markets were stronger in overnight trade, with the Nikkei 225 up 1.8% and the Hang Seng index adding by 0.4%.
