Morning Report – Thursday 8th July
FTSE to open at 7,106 (-45 pts)
Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index has taken a hammering overnight – breaking to its lowest level since the turn of the year…
The sell-off is tech focused with Tencent, Alibaba and Meituan among the markets biggest faller as regulatory fears resurfaced.
Beijing recently announced that regulation would be tightened on Chinese listings in the US – many of whom are tech companies.
The Asian sell-off has created a bearish backdrop to this morning’s European open.
S&P 500 | +0.34% | Bullish for UK stocks |
Hang Seng | -2.75% | Bearish for UK stocks |
Gold | -0.35% | Bullish for UK stocks |
AUD/JPY | -0.69% | Bearish for UK stocks |

The FTSE bounced back quite impressively yesterday – take prices back towards the 7,167 resistance level.
However, the futures have given way to the weakness in Asian stocks overnight and we’re now set to open at roughly the halfway point of this weeks choppy range.
