The UK 100 called to open +19 points this morning at 9,157.
Stateside Friday saw the S&P slip after hitting a fresh record high, as investors took some gains off the table after a strong week. The broad market index settled down 0.29% at 6,449.80. The Nasdaq shed 0.40% to end the day at 21,622.98. The Dow Jones outperformed, rising 34.86 points, or 0.08%, to close at 44,946.12, thanks to a 12% jump in UnitedHealth. However, it was well off its all-time high reached earlier in the day.
Land Securities announced that it has exchanged contracts to sell its Queen Anne’s Mansions office building in London to the Arora Group for £245 million. The sale is part of the company’s broader strategy to free up £2 billion in capital from its office portfolio by 2030, as it shifts focus toward assets capable of delivering long-term, sustainable income and earnings per share growth.
Meanwhile, Great Portland Estates reported it has signed three new fully managed leasing agreements for a combined 11,720 square feet of “premium, refurbished office space.” These leases, covering two properties in London, are expected to generate an additional £2.5 million in annual rent for the company, averaging £212 per square foot—2.8% above the estimated rental value as of March.
