The UK 100 called to open +18 points this morning at 9,017. The UK 100 looks set to open above 9000 for the first time today, striking another record high in the process.
Stateside yesterday saw the S&P edged higher on Monday even after President Donald Trump threatened high tariffs on more countries over the weekend. Losses were kept in check as investors bet those duties will eventually be negotiated down and looked ahead to a busy week for second-quarter earnings season. The S&P added 0.14% to close at 6,268.56, while the Nasdaq rose 0.27% to settle at 20,640.33. The Dow Jones gained 88.14 points, or 0.20%, ending at 44,459.65.
Barratt Redrow today said adjusted profits for the year to 29 June are in line with market expectations, despite home completions being slightly below guidance. The housebuilder said it had been impacted by fewer international and investor completions than expected in its London businesses. Total home completions including joint ventures reduced by 7.8% to 16,565 from last year’s comparable figure of 17,972. However, the order book position continued to improve during the year based on total forward sales of £2.9 billion at the end of June equating to 9835 homes. It is also seeing “tangible benefits” from last year’s acquisition of Redrow, with cost synergies being delivered ahead of schedule. Chief executive David Thomas said: “Although demand during the year has been impacted by consumer caution and mortgage rates not falling as quickly as hoped, there remains a long-term structural under-supply of housing in this country.”
Experian delivered a strong first-quarter performance for 2025, with total revenue up 12% and organic growth hitting eight per cent – at the top end of the company’s guidance. But while the global data and technology giant posted strong numbers across North America, Latin America and EMEA, its home UK market continued to show signs of strain. UK and Ireland revenue grew by just two per cent at constant currency, with organic growth at just 1%. The group’s B2B segment contracted by two per cent as economic conditions weighed on activity, even as new initiatives, like the Ascend Sandbox, were well received.
