Morning Report – Thursday 12th May

FTSE to open at 7,229 (-119 pts)

Yesterday’s stubbornly high US inflation data prompted a further sell-off in US stocks…

Headline US consumer prices rose 8.3% for the 12 months to April, slower than the 8.5% pace of a month earlier, but higher than market forecasts for 8.1% – prompting a -1.65% drop in the S&P 500.

Overnight, Asian stocks have mirrored the losses on Wall Street with the Hang Seng down more than -2% and the Nikkei 225 currently -1.77%.

This morning’s UK GDP number saw the UK economy shrink for the first time this year – output declined 0.1% from February compared with a forecast for no change.

Hang Seng-2.09%Bearish for UK stocks
Gold-0.05%Neutral for UK stocks
AUD/JPY-1.06%Bearish for UK stocks
US 10yr Yield-67ptsBullish for UK stocks
