The UK 100 is called to open -8 points this morning at 7494. The UK 100 is expected to open slightly lower this morning as UK CPI data showed that inflation had eased more than expected and come off recent 41 year highs. In focus today will be the key interest rate decision by the US Federal Reserve, due at 7pm this evening (GMT). US markets ended yesterday in positive territory, but off earlier highs, as weaker than expected inflation figures suggested pricing pressures may be on the wane. At the close the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 104 points, or 0.3%, to 34,109, the S&P 500 rose 29 points, or 0.74%, to 4,020 and the Nasdaq Composite advanced 113 points, or 1.01%, to 11,257.
