TODAY’S FACTORS AND EVENTS

London stocks were set for a flat open on Tuesday following uninspiring sessions in the US and Asia, as investors await services data for the UK and the eurozone and further news on Brexit negotiations.

The FTSE 100 was expected to open unchanged at 7,339.

As far as talks between the UK and the EU are concerned, Oanda analyst Craig Erlam said: “The two sides still have a little further to go before they can proceed onto the next stage and discuss future trade but there appears to be a more optimistic feeling that this can be achieved before the deadline in just over a week.
