UK 100 called to open +2 points this morning at 6548. The UK 100 is expected to open fairly flat today as UK prime minister Boris Johnson and European Commission president, Ursula von der Leyen have agreed to go the “extra mile” to secure a Brexit deal, although both warned there were significant gaps to bridge. This could be seen as a positive step following Fridays sell off as investors seemed to lose faith of any sort of deal being done. Overnight, Asia’s main markets were largely higher amid growing hopes the US will sign off on an economic stimulus deal before the year-end.
AstraZeneca has agreed to buy U.S. drug maker Alexion Pharmaceuticals for $39bn in its largest ever deal.
Electronic Arts has made a bid for London-listed Codemasters Group worth $1.2bn, seeking to trump an offer agreed last month with Take-Two Interactive Software.
