The UK 100 is called to open -18 points today at 7105. Calls for a slightly weaker open today come as investor focus will likely be on the Bank of England interest rate decision at midday. Consensus is that there is unlikely to be any immediate change to policy today, but outlook will be of interest for possible timelines for the curtailment of bond-buying stimulus and ultimately the path to rate rises. It was a tougher session on Wall Street yesterday, the Dow Jones was down 323 points or 0.9% to 34,792. The S&P 500 slipped 0.46% to 4,402 whilst the Nasdaq ended the session in positive territory, up 0.13% at 14.780. Elsewhere, the small-cap centred Russell 2000 index was down 1.23% at 2,196. In Asia, Japan’s Nikkei climbed 112 points or 0.4% to trade at 27,697 whilst Hong Kong’s Hang Seng was 0.36% lower at 26,331. The Shanghai Composite meanwhile was only down 0.1% at 3,474.
