FTSE 100 to Edge Higher After Mixed Asia Trading
The FTSE 100 Index is tipped to open four points higher at
7,222, according to CMC Markets, after mixed trading in Asia and a
lower close on Wall Street. Markets in China and Hong Kong are in
negative territory, but Japan's Nikkei 225 edges 0.1% higher. The
Dow closed 0.3% down. "As we look ahead to today's European
session, the rebound off the lows in the U.S. does appear to set us
up for a positive open," CMC analyst Michael Hewson says.
UK Annual Inflation Accelerated to 5.1% in November
Inflation in the U.K. accelerated in November to its fastest
annual rate in more than a decade, propelled by supply-chain
disruptions and higher energy costs that are pushing up consumer
prices across many advanced economies.
