The UK 100 is called to open +52 points at at 10,317. The UK 100 is predicted to mount a bit of a comeback on Wednesday, despite oil prices rising after a report that the United Arab Emirates has been carrying out military attacks on Iran. Jet fighters “secretly” made retaliatory attacks on Iran, including one on an oil refinery, which was said to make the oil-producing nation a clearer target if Tehran’s ceasefire with Washington is abandoned.
On the futures market, London’s blue-chip index has been called around 50 points higher, following a session when it battled back from a 110-point deficit to finish down just four points at 10,265.32.
US stocks were mixed overnight, with the tech-heavy Nasdaq sliding 0.7%, while the S&P 500 closed down less than 0.2% and the Dow Jones rose 0.1%.
