The UK 100 is called to open +75 points today at 7070. The UK Blue chip index looks set to recover all of yesterdays losses on the open today, having dropped in excess of 1% during Wednesday trading. This comes as politicians appear closer to approving the new, temporary, debt ceiling. In America overnight, Republicans and Democrats agreed to consider a stop-gap extension to the US borrowing limit until December, potentially breaking a deadlock and remove at least on layer of market risk for investors. This saw the Dow Jones close Wednesday up 102 points or 0.3% at 34,416. The S&P similarly closed higher by 0.4% to finish the session at 4,363 and the Nasdaq was slightly stronger still rising 0.47% to trade at 14,501. In Asia, Japan’s Nikkei rose by 0.84% to 27,761 and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng was up 2.43% at 24,554, while the Shanghai Composite added 0.9% to 3,568.
