The UK 100 is called to open -100 points today at 7397. The UK 100 looks set to open sharply lower after Russia's Vladimir Putin put the country’s nuclear deterrent force on high alert. The hostile nature of events over the weekend is unlikely to lend itself to constructive negotiations as delegates from Russia and Ukraine are expected to meet on the northern border with Belarus later today. Asian markets were mixed on Monday as the U.S. and Western allies announced fresh sanctions on Russia, prompting fears that energy supplies will be affected. Brent crude, the international oil benchmark, gained about 5% to trade at $105 per barrel. Japan’s Nikkei gained 0.19% and South Korea’s Kospi rose 0.84%. The Shanghai Composite in China lifted 0.13% while Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index dipped 0.87%.
