The UK 100 called to open -21 points lower this morning at 8,920. The UK 100 looks set to make a subdued start to trading for the week, as US futures are also pointing lower in early trading.
Stocks in the US closed lower Friday, a day after the S&P posted a new record high and President Donald Trump announced a 35% tariff on Canada and threatened higher tariffs across the board. The Dow Jone lost 279.13 points, or 0.63%, to close at 44,371.51. The S&P slid 0.33% to end at 6,259.75, and the Nasdaq ended the day 0.22% lower at 20,585.53.
On Saturday, President Trump pledged to introduce 30% levies on imports from the European Union and Mexico from 1 August.
Asian markets are mixed this morning, with Japan’s and India’s benchmarks down 0.2% and 0.5%, while the Hang Seng and the Chinese domestic Shanghai Composite stocks index are up 0.4%.
Bitcoin, meanwhile, has surged to above $122K this morning, having been under $109K a week ago.
Ashmore reported a $1.4 billion increase in assets under management (AuM) during the fourth quarter, bringing total AuM to $47.6 billion as of June 30. The gain was driven by $2.2 billion of investment performance, partially offset by $0.8 billion of net outflows. Fixed income AuM rose to $38.5 billion from $37.8 billion in the prior quarter, while equities saw a notable increase to $7.5 billion from $6.8 billion. Flows were positive in equities, flat in external debt and alternatives, and slightly negative across blended debt, local currency, and corporate debt themes. Net flows improved compared to the previous quarter, with significantly lower redemptions despite continued geopolitical and trade-related uncertainty. The group also launched a new impact debt strategy and opened a new office during the quarter. Ashmore highlighted continued outperformance across its strategies and noted that a greater proportion of its assets have outperformed benchmarks over one, three, and five years since the start of the calendar year. The group also benefited from strong emerging markets (EMs) returns. Ashmore said EM indices rose 2% to 12% in the quarter, supported by U.S. dollar weakness and improving fundamentals.
