Morning Report – Wednesday 2nd February

FTSE to open at 7,570 (+34 pts)

Stocks on Wall Street closed higher yesterday despite disappointing economic data which showed US manufacturing activity fell to a 14-month low in January.

While in after-hours trading shares in Google parent, Alphabet soared nearly 9% as an unexpectedly strong surge in search advertising revenue raised hopes that the internet group’s momentum would continue as the pandemic recedes.

Overnight, it’s been a quiet Asian session due to New Year celebrations, but oil has pushed toward last week’s seven-year highs as a draw in US crude stocks confirmed strong demand and a lack of supply.
