The UK 100 is called to open -60 points this morning at 7015.

IAG, owner of British Airways and Iberia, reported third-quarter adjusted operating profit of 1.21 billion euros ($1.21 billion) after revenue returned to pre-pandemic levels despite much of its Asian network remaining closed due to COVID restrictions.
NatWest reported flat quarterly profits on Friday, as bad loan charges from a worsening economic outlook took the shine off income boosted by rising interest rates. NatWest posted pre-tax profit of 1.1 billion pounds ($1.27 billion) for July-September, slightly below the 1.2 billion pounds average of analyst forecasts compiled by the bank, and unchanged on the prior year. The bank set aside an additional 247 million pounds in the quarter to reflect the deteriorating picture, denting its profits. NatWest said it still expects to reach its return on equity target - a key measure of profitability - of 14-16% in 2023, but said the route to achieving that would be different as both income and costs rise amid rising interest rates and inflation.
