Morning Report – Wednesday 12th January
FTSE to open at 7,538 (+47 pts)
Wall Street rallied yesterday as Fed Chair Jay Powell made assurances that the central bank would act to curb inflation before it gets out of control…
Addressing the Senate, Powell said high inflation had taken a “toll” and the Fed would act to prevent it from “becoming entrenched”. The comments come ahead of today’s US Consumer Price Index data for December.
Asian stocks have followed Wall Street higher and it is also worth noting that oil (Brent crude) has touched pre-Omicron highs in early trading.

The FTSE broke out from the small bull flag consolidation pattern that we highlighted in yesterday’s Morning Report.
With the FTSE futures continuing higher in early trading, the cash market is set to open at last week’ swing highs.
