UK 100 called to open +47 points this morning at 5901. Asian markets overnight struggled for any gains as the dollar rose last night to two-month highs, as continued worries about the global pandemic recovery led investors to safety havens. However there was a slight shining light in the form of Asian Business Sentiment rebounding in Q3, jumping to 53 from an 11-year low of 35 in Q2. It also remained above the key 50 mark, which indicates a positive outlook. In the UK, as reported before, the Prime Minister re-introduced measures to curb the spread of COVID-19, which he said could remain in place for the next 6 months. There was also slight good good news regarding US stimulus last night, as policymakers opened the door for further aid for small businesses hit by the pandemic. There were differences on how broad it would be however, and how long it would extend. Oil fell last night after US crude inventories rose against expectations. Brent was down 30 cents at $41.42 a barrel while US crude dropped 34 cents to $39.46 per barrel. Gold settled at $1900 an ounce.
