Markets Overview:

 

UK 100 called to open flat this morning at 6010.  During trading in the US yesterday, major indices rebounded from early losses to post closing gains, as investor confidence grew in the major tech firms, offsetting disappointing employment data, showing the number of jobless claims stateside had risen back above 1m for the past week and also rebutting concerns from the Federal reserve who seemed more pessimistic about growth expectations in the US. The Dow Jones gained 46.85 points, or 0.1%, to 27,739.73, snapping a three-day losing streak. The S&P 500 gained 0.3%, or 10.66 points, to 3,385.51. The Nasdaq jumped 1%, or 118.49 points, to settle at 11,264.95, in the process hitting a new record close.
