Morning Report – Wednesday 16th February

FTSE to open at 7,604 (-5 pts)

Wall Street rallied for the first time in three sessions yesterday as after Russia said it had begun pulling some troops back to their bases. Brent crude also pulled back from trend highs as tensions eased.

Overnight in Asia, stocks have mirrored the rally on Wall Street with the Hang Seng and Nikkei firmly in positive territory.

While this morning’s UK inflation data saw consumer prices rise at annual rate of 5.5%, more than analysts expected and its fastest pace since 1992.

Looking ahead this afternoon we have US retail sales and FOMC minutes, which are sure to get the market’s attention given the current inflationary environment.
