Morning Report – Wednesday 23rd March
FTSE to open at 7,493 (+16 pts)
Asian equities hit three week highs overnight with beaten-down sectors such as technology making the biggest gains.
While this morning’s UK inflation data hit a new 30-year high, with consumer prices rising by 6.2% in the 12 months to February – as fuel, energy and food costs surged.
The data comes ahead of Chancellor Rishi Sunak’s Spring Statement in which he is expected to cut fuel duty, boost benefits and raise the threshold for national insurance.
