TODAY’S FACTORS AND EVENTS

London stocks were set to rise at the open on Wednesday, taking their cue from a positive session in the US as oil prices rally.

The FTSE 100 was called to open 32 points higher at 7,569.

London Capital Group analyst Jasper Lawler said: “Oil was a central driving force behind the positive close on Wall Street overnight, amid reports that supply disruptions are expected to outweigh the impact of the recently agreed OPEC increase in production. An earlier pledge by Saudi Arabia to lift production to a record was shrugged off by the markets, as the US pressed allies to cut Iranian oil imports to zero by early November.
