Morning Report – Friday 8th July
FTSE to open at 7,165 (-24 pts)
Wall Street rallied yesterday as traders balanced risks of a global slowdown with the potential for central banks to scale back their plans for interest rate rises.
While the pound actually strengthened following Boris Johnson’s resignation as Prime Minister. A new leader is expected to be chosen by September.
Overnight in Asia, stocks in Hong Kong remain subdued due to the strong US dollar. And stocks in Japan have had a volatile session after the former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was shot while campaigning.
Looking ahead, we have June’s non-farm payroll numbers hitting our screens this afternoon and Regency account holders will receive our Non-Farm Payrolls Preview later this morning.
