TODAY’S FACTORS AND EVENTS

London stocks were set to edge up at the open on Wednesday, with oil prices in focus after US President Trump announced that he was pulling out of the Iran nuclear deal.

The FTSE 100 was called to open eight points higher at 7,573.

CMC Markets analyst David Madden said: “The move will see the reintroduction of sanctions on Iran, and the various aspects of its economy, such as energy, insurance and finance could be targeted. Iran is one of the largest suppliers in OPEC, and traders are fearful the sanctions will weigh on global supply. The oil market has been in an upward trend for nearly eleven months, and given the Iranian development it is likely to continue.”
