Morning Report – Wednesday 31st August

FTSE to open at 7,373 (+12 pts)

Stocks on Wall Street lost ground yesterday with the S&P 500 falling for the third straight session and erasing almost all of the index’s gains for the month of August.

Overnight in Asia, activity in China’s manufacturing sector contracted for second straight month in August. The contraction was blamed largely on power shortages triggered by a historic drought in the region.

Despite the weak Chinese economic data, Asian stocks have had a quiet session with the Hang Seng flat on the day and the Nikkei 225 less than half a percent higher.

S&P 500-1.10%Bearish for UK stocks
Hang Seng+0.05%Neutral for UK stocks
Gold-0.13%Neutral for UK stocks
AUD/JPY+0.37%Bullish for UK stocks
US 10yr Yield-3ptsNeutral for UK stocks
