Markets Overview:

 

UK 100 called to open +25 points at 7425; In light of overnight news that Trump Says Deal in Final Throes.  “We’re in the final throes of a very important deal,” Donald Trump said, after negotiators from both sides spoke by phone. He later told former Fox News he’s “holding it up because it’s got to be a good deal.”  The pound slid overnight with the prospect of rate cuts and a potential hard Brexit taking the shine off sterling.  Trading in Asia overnight saw risk on appetite very much the order of the day, with all major Asian bourses in the green, the Nikkei +64 points & the Hang Seng +8 points.  This followed on from a green sweep in the US yesterday, the Dow Jones +55 points, the S&P +6 points and the Nasdaq +15 points.  Oil once again rose overnight to break through previous resistance of $64 per barrel.  Gold once again suffered at the hands of risk on sentiment, settling way down at $1459.
