Morning Report – Friday 12th August

FTSE to open at 7,473 (-7 pts)

The S&P 500 edged lower yesterday having closed more than 2% higher on Wednesday.

While European electricity prices soared to record highs on Thursday, as the prolonged heatwave added pressure to power markets already under strain from Russia’s cuts to the continent’s gas supplies.

Overnight in Asia, Japan’s Nikkei 225 rallied more than 2.5% higher as markets reopened following a national holiday. And Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index made smaller gains as Chinese blue-chips weakened.

This morning’s UK GDP figure indicated the economy fell 0.1% in the second quarter of the year after rising 0.7% in the previous quarter.
