UK 100 called to open -67 points this morning at 5840. Shares in Asia were down across the board last night, as US markets slumped after a fairly positive start to the day. This was due to a series of warnings from US Federal Reserve officials underscoring the worry felt by investors over the strength of the economic recovery. One official commented that the US remains in a "deep hole" of joblessness and weak demand, and called for further stimulus. In the UK markets were positive for the day as PM Boris Johnson assured job protection, with Chancellor Rishi Sunak potentially looking at an alternative furlough scheme that would be for targeted sectors. Oil prices fell, weighed by concerns about the US recovery slowing and the increase in COVID-19 cases in Europe, leading to travel restrictions again. Brent dropped 0.89% to $41.40 per barrel whilst US Crude was 1.15% lower at $39.48 per barrel. Gold hit a 2-month lower on a stronger dollar but stayed around $1863.61 per ounce.
