TODAY’S FACTORS AND EVENTS

London stocks are expected to edge lower in early trade on Friday, after a mixed session in Asia but a positive day for Wall Street.

The FTSE 100 was being called around 15 points lower, having finished at 7,545.44 the day before. Sterling remained soft against the dollar at 1.3076 and little moved against the euro at 1.1239.

Overnight, US stocks had ended a multi-session losing streak, helped by some robust economic data. This was a “relief rally” as the Federal Reserve’s actions kick in, said Jasper Lawler, market analyst at London Capital Group, as the markets adjust to the new higher interest rate economy, with solid durable goods data and treasury yields falling from recent highs.
