TODAY’S FACTORS AND EVENTS

London stocks were set to rise at the open on Wednesday, taking their cue from strong gains on Wall Street as investors welcomed dovish comments from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell.

The FTSE 100 was called to open 16 points higher at 7,231.

London Capital Group analyst Jasper Lawler said: “The Dow rallied 500 points in its second-best trading session of the year thanks to a more dovish Fed Chairman Jerome Powell. Asian markets followed suit and European bourses are pointing to a stronger start on the open in a clear case of central banks to the rescue, even if the effect is only short term.
