UK Index called to open down 10 points today at 7075; this comes in spite of Donald Trump saying that a trade deal is “coming” calls for a muted open could be on the back of UK Bank holiday weekend and lower volumes of trading, as we head into September historically we have seen volumes increase as traders return from their summer breaks. U.K Prime Minister Boris Johnson also said over the weekend that he is willing to take Brexit negotiations right "down to the wire" if necessary. Yesterday saw positive trading sessions both in the U.S and Asia, the Dow Jones recovering 270 points following last weeks sell off and the Nikkei adding just shy of 1%. Oil slipped back slightly to $58 a barrel from last weeks level of $60 and gold was the big winner, striking new multi year highs to settle at $1533.
