Morning Report – Friday 26th August

FTSE to open at 7,507 (+27 pts)

The second estimate of US GDP was revised down to a contraction of 0.6% from its first estimate of a 0.9% decline – economists had predicted a decrease of 0.8%.

Overnight in Asia, stocks have followed Wall Street higher amid signs that the US and China are close to resolving a longstanding impasse over audits of Chinese companies.
