The UK 100 is called to open +42 today at 7125. A positive open is expected this morning to follow US markets higher which last night got a little clarity over the closely eyed taper timetable and anxiety over the Evergrande crisis and a possible Chinese spill-over receded to the background. During trading on Wall Street the Dow Jones closed 338 points or 1%, at 34,258, whilst the S&P similarly gained 0.95% to finish the session at 4,395. The Nasdaq also added 1.02% to end its trading day at 14,896. In Asia this morning it was more mixed, Japan’s Nikkei traded 0.67% lower at 29,639 whilst Hong Kong’s Hang Seng gained 0.43% to 24,325. Meanwhile, the Shanghai Composite index added 0.37% to 3,641.
