Markets Overview:

 

The UK 100 is called to open down 50 points today at 7170. China's factory output and retail sales growth slowed sharply and missed expectations in July, as new COVID-19 outbreaks and floods disrupted business operations, adding to signs the economic recovery is losing momentum. Asia is struggling on the vaccination front, whereas Europe is handling it the best worldwide. European and US markets are off today after another week of record highs in the US. Oil was off as Chinese demand falters.
