The UK 100 is called to open -67 at 10,406. UK markets are set to open higher, with UK100 futures up ~0.4%, building on Friday’s close.
Wall Street finished Friday with a strong rebound as investors stepped back into risk after a bruising tech-led selloff earlier in the week. The Dow Jones surged 2.47%, closing above 50,000 for the first time. The S&P 500 rose 1.97% and the Nasdaq gained 2.18%, marking its biggest one-day rise since November. Despite the bounce, the Nasdaq and S&P still ended the week slightly lower, while the Dow posted solid weekly gains. Amazon remained a central focus. Shares ended the session down ~5.6% following its announcement of $200bn in 2026 capex, lifting combined AI spending plans across Amazon, Microsoft, Alphabet and Meta toward $600bn. The scale of spending continues to fuel investor unease around returns, even as Friday’s rally suggested some recalibration of near-term AI disruption fears. Semiconductors led the rebound, with the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index jumping 5.7%, while software stocks also stabilized after heavy losses earlier in the week.
Asian markets surged, extending Friday’s US rebound. The MSCI Asia Pacific Index rose to a fresh all-time high, with gains broad-based across the region. Japan led the move after Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s landslide election victory, which delivered political clarity and expectations of fiscal support. The Nikkei 225 jumped over 5% to record highs, with TOPIX also hitting a peak. South Korea’s KOSPI rallied around 4–5%, rebounding sharply after last week’s tech-driven rout. Hong Kong, China and Australia also posted strong gains, while US equity futures edged higher during Asian hours.
NatWest today boosted its position in wealth management with the acquisition of Evelyn Partners in a deal valued at £2.7 billion. The private equity-backed business has £69 billion of assets under management or administration and includes the direct-to-consumer platform BestInvest. NatWest has £59 billion of assets under management. NatWest chief executive Paul Thwaite said: “At a time when the benefits of saving and investing are increasingly part of the national conversation, we can help customers to make more of their money through a broader range of services, as well as helping to drive growth and investment across the economy.” The lender has also announced a share buyback of £750 million, which it said continued its strong track record of capital return to shareholders.
