The UK 100 called to open +24 points at 7578. The UK 100 is expected to open higher, building on yesterday’s gains, even with UK food price inflation hitting a new record high in December according to the British Retail Consortium as US markets closed off their worst levels for the day and despite mixed showings by Asian markets. In the US, Wall Street started the New Year on the back foot, despite a bright start, as falls in a number of tech heavyweights and weak manufacturing PMI figures dented the mood. At the close the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 13 points, or 0.04%, at 33,135, the S&P 500 was down 16 points, or 0.41%, to 3,824 and the Nasdaq Composite was 80 points lower, or 0.76%, at 10,387.
Ryanair’s 2022 traffic more than doubles to 160.4m guests as December traffic rises 21% to 11.5m guests.
