The UK 100 is called to open +30 points today at 7031. A positive open is expected this morning, with the UK blue chip index being called to open at the same sort of levels as yesterday, recovering from a slight drop in the previous session and out performing global markets as oil prices spike to multi-year highs, prices were sent surging after the OPEC+ oil producers group refused to bow to pressure to pump more oil. Stateside yesterday saw the Nasdaq tumble over 300 points or 2.1% to lead the Wall Street lower, with the S&P 500 falling 1.3% and the Dow Jones 0.9%. In Asia this morning stocks were mainly lower, in Japan, the Nikkei slumped 2.33%. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index was flat while markets in mainland China remained closed for the holidays.
