The UK 100 is called to open -16 points this morning at 7173. The UK 100 looks set to pause for breath this morning, opening modestly lower following a busy day on Downing Street Thursday. Attention later in the day will be focused on the US non-farm payrolls number. Predictions are for jobs created in June to drop to around 268,000 from 390,000 in May but it would not be a surprise if it was lower given recent trends, said economists. Minutes from the last ECB meeting are also due, so investors should have a decent steer on where interest rates are heading in Europe and the US by late afternoon. U.S. stocks rose on Thursday as Wall Street built on its modest winning streak ahead of a key jobs report. The Dow Jones gained 346.87 points, or about 1.12%, to close at 31,384.55. The S&P added 1.50% to 3,902.62, while the Nasdaq gained 2.28% to 11,621.35.
Vistry Group this morning said that they have delivered an excellent first half performance, significantly exceeding expectations at the start of the year. Demand has been strong across all areas of the business and forward sales positions further strengthened.
