The UK 100 is called to open +8 points today at 7036. A modestly higher open is expected this morning for the UK's Blue chip index, this follows a somewhat brutal trading day Stateside on Tuesday as investors were reported to bet the Fed would carry through on its promise to curb its emergency bond-buying stimulus as inflation jumps. The 10-year yield, which traded as low as 1.13% as recently as August, has reversed dramatically to the highest levels since June after the Fed signaled last week it would taper its $120 billion in monthly bond purchases "soon." The Nasdaq Composite dropped 2.83% to 14,546.68 for its worst day since March and the S&P 500 shed 2.04% to finish at 4,352.63. The Dow Jones lost 569.38 points, or 1.63%, to close at 34,299.99. Stocks in Asia were also lower this morning, China’s Shanghai Composite slipped 1.55% while Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index dropped by 0.20%. In Japan, the Nikkei 225 fell the most significantly, giving up 2.67%, while South Korea’s Kospi declined 1.74%.
