TODAY’S FACTORS AND EVENTS

London stocks were set for a firmer open on Wednesday following a positive close in the US, although worries about escalating trade tensions were likely to continue to play on investors’ minds.

The FTSE 100 was called to open 15 points higher at 7,562.

London Capital Group analyst Jasper Lawler said: “Chinese markets were in for another rough session on Tuesday down a further 1%, despite support from Chinese state media. With the start of the US imposed tariffs now just days away and China expected to retaliate, alarm bells are starting to ring, sending the Shanghai bourse plunging to a two and a half year low on Monday, whilst the yuan also fell.
