TODAY’S FACTORS AND EVENTS

London stocks continued to come under pressure on Tuesday as investors fretted that the Federal Reserve might hike rates more than expected after last week’s strong wage growth figures and following the release of disappointing UK services data.

By the close of trading, the FTSE 100 was down 1.46% to 7,334.98, while the pound was off 0.66% against the dollar at 1.4029 and by 0.4% versus the euro to 1.1291, respectively. Stocks in the US tumbled on Friday, with the Dow dropping 666 points as yields jumped after data showed the strongest US wage growth in eight and a half years.

Against that backdrop, data out on Monday morning showed growth from the UK’s key services sector slowed at the start of the year.
