The UK 100 is called to open -52 points at at 10,456. The UK 100 looks set to open lower this morning, ahead of today’s Bank of England meeting.
US stocks finished lower overnight after the Fed held rates steady, but pointed to a weaker economic outlook and new chair Kevin Warsh signalled that he would meaningfully scale back the level of forward guidance the central bank gives in future.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq led the losses, falling 1.3%, with the S&P dropping 1.2% and the Dow Jones falling 1%. The Magnificent Seven tech giants fell nearly 3% and SpaceX also had its first down day, losing almost 5%.
Tesco, said on Thursday underlying UK sales growth slowed in its first quarter but it continued to gain market share and left its profit guidance for the full-year unchanged. The impact of the Iran war on energy prices, with knock-on effects on consumer spending, is adding to the challenges the UK retail sector and the wider economy face. Tesco, which has an over 28% share of the British grocery market, said UK like-for-like sales rose 1.8% in the 13 weeks to May 30 – below analysts’ average forecast of 2.3% and compared to growth of 3.1% in the previous quarter. Tesco kept its forecast for adjusted operating profit of £3.0 billion to £3.3 billion ($4.0-$4.4 billion) for its year to end-February 2027, versus the £3.152 billion made in 2025/26. Analysts were on average forecasting profit of £3.25 billion for 2026/27 ahead of Thursday’s update.
