FTSE 100 Poised to Rise After Higher US Close
0735 GMT - The FTSE 100 looks set to open about 39 points higher at 7903, according to IG futures data, after an upbeat close on Wall Street, though Asia trades mixed. Australian and South Korean stocks rise, but Japan's Nikkei 225 and markets in mainland China and Hong Kong fall. The Dow closed Tuesday 0.8% higher after U.S. Federal Reserve chief Jerome Powell reiterated comments about disinflationary trends, but also insisted that the Fed still has some way to go to get inflation back to target. "This U.S. resilience looks set to translate into a positive European open later this morning," CMC Markets analyst Michael Hewson writes. (philip.waller@wsj.com)

UK Firms Face Brexit, Covid Supply-Chain Chaos in 2023
1714 GMT - UK mid-sized businesses face a double whammy of supply-chain problems caused by the UK's EU exit and rising Chinese coronavirus cases, a survey shows. More than half, or 54%, of businesses cited supply-chain disruption as their biggest concern in the next six months, according to the study by business consultancy BDO. About a third, or 34%, highlighted delays caused by Brexit-related customs regulations, a similar number reported rising costs of EU-derived goods and 24% said they had stopped selling to the EU completely. Some 37% of businesses also cited delays from rising Covid-19 cases and lockdowns in China. "These businesses are the engine of the UK's economy and they shouldn't be overlooked," BDO partner Ed Dwan writes. (philip.waller@wsj.com)
