TODAY’S FACTORS AND EVENTS
London stocks hopped higher in early trade on Wednesday, with only five constituent companies in negative territory as oil prices rallied and a positive lead was taken from Asia as geopolitical tensions faded.
The FTSE 100 was up 50.54 points or 0.68% to 7,434.05 after just over half an hour of trading, following a flattish session on Wall Street and with the battered pound taking a breather on the ropes after many tumbles against the dollar and euro.
Traders were also looking to the release of the UK’s August employment report and, later in the day, the minutes of the US central bank’s most recent policy meeting.
