Markets Overview:

 

 

The UK 100 is called to open +15 points today at 7306.  A positive open is expected this morning for the UK's blue chip index, largely ignoring Boris Johnson’s warning of a tidal wave of Omicron Covid cases as he announced plans to speed up the UK’s winter vaccination programme.  Asian markets started the week on the front foot on Monday after China promised aid to shore up economic growth. China’s Shanghai Composite gained 0.39% and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index rose 0.28%.  The Nikkei in Japan lifted 0.71% but South Korea’s Kospi dipped 0.28%.  This follows the S&P 500 closing at a record on Friday, capping off Wall Street’s strong rally last week, despite inflation hitting a 39-year high.  The S&P 500 rose 0.95% to 4,712.02 to close at a record. The Dow Jones gained 216.30 points, or 0.6%, to 35,970.99. The technology heavy Nasdaq climbed 0.7% to 15,630.60.
