Markets Overview:

 

UK 100 called to open +68 points this morning at 6669. Global stocks slipped last night as investors braced themselves for the prospect that the Democrats could win both seats in the US Senate Run-Off handing them control of the chamber. This would enable the push of a larger fiscal stimulus package, and for president-elect Joe Biden to push through greater corporate regulation and higher taxes. There was also positive sentiment stateside as US factory activity approached 2 1/2 year highs. Whilst in the UK, efforts to roll out vaccines to 14 million of the most vulnerable can be achieved, says Nadhim Zahawi, the PM's COVID minister. Millions more vaccines are on the way according to the Prime Minister.Oil pushed higher as Saudi Arabia offered to make voluntary cuts to its oil output.
