TODAY’S FACTORS AND EVENTS

London stocks rose in early trade on Monday, helped along by a weaker pound as investors looked ahead to a week of central bank updates.

At 0840 GMT, the FTSE 100 was up 0.6% to 7,435.43, while the pound was down 0.2% versus the dollar at 1.3369 and 0.4% weaker against the euro at 1.1339.

Spreadex analyst Connor Campbell said: “This week’s economic calendar is a veritable Christmas feast, with updates from the Federal Reserve, Bank of England and ECB; the ominous trio of UK inflation, wage growth and retails sales; and the latest US CPI reading. Sadly none of that arrives today, with Monday the chilly calm before a snowstorm of data.
