The UK 100 called to open -200 points this morning at 7,711. The UK 100 looks set to give up all of yesterdays gains at the open, as Donald Trump’s global tariff’s came into effect, The White House has confirmed China will be hit with a 104% tariff rate from 12:01am ET on Wednesday. Donald Trump’s press secretary confirmed that the measures will come into place after Beijing did not lift its retaliatory tariffs on US goods by a Tuesday noon deadline.

The Dow Jones dropped 320.01 points, or 0.84%, and closed at 37,645.59, bringing its four-day loss on tariff angst to more than 4,500 points. Apple led the losses with the iPhone maker’s costs set to surge with new China tariffs. At its high of the day, the Dow was up 3.9%. The S&P declined 1.57% to end at 4,982.77. The index was inches away from closing in a bear market, down nearly 19% from its February record, and it ended the session below 5,000 for the first time since April 2024. Over the past four days, the S&P 500 has fallen more than 12%. The Nasdaq fell 2.15%, ending at 15,267.91. The tech-heavy benchmark rose as much as 4.5% earlier in the day. The Nasdaq has lost more than 13% in the four-day rout.

Saga announced this morning that the companies financial performance shows recovery signs with strong revenue growth and improved cash flow. However, high debt levels and net losses remain concerns. Technical analysis indicates mixed signals with potential short-term weakness. Valuation is challenging due to net losses and no dividend yield. Positive corporate events, including debt refinancing and strategic partnerships, provide a boost to financial stability and future growth prospects.
