The UK 100 is called to open +43 Points this morning at 9,397. The UK 100 is called to open higher, recovering from a slump on Friday. The index is called to open around 9,397, which is 43 points higher than Friday’s closing of 9,354.57. This expected rise follows positive cues from a rebound on Wall Street and optimistic signals regarding US-China trade talks.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose Friday as traders digested the U.S.′ softening tone on its trade talks with China and tried to move past credit concerns that sparked a big sell-off in regional banks Thursday. The Dow finished 238.37 points, or 0.52%, higher at 46,190.61. The S&P settled up 0.53% at 6,664.01, while the Nasdaq added 0.52% to finish at 22,679.98. Stocks extended their gains in afternoon trading after Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said he would be speaking with his Chinese trade counterpart Friday evening. Trump also said from the White House that a meeting with China President Xi Jinping was still likely at the end of the month. The comments suggested the threat of 100% additional tariffs against China on Nov. 1 might not come to pass.
Overnight, Asian stock markets traded in the green, buoyed by optimism over a potential US interest rate cut, strong corporate earnings season bets, and eased US-China trade tensions. Japan’s Nikkei 225 saw the largest gains, surging 3.15%, followed by Hong Kong’s Hang Seng, which rose 2.33%. South Korea’s KOSPI and China’s Shanghai Composite also finished the day with gains of 1.61% and 0.52%, respectively, while Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 gained 0.38%
