FTSE 100 to Rise as Omicron Concerns Ease

0743 GMT - The FTSE 100 is seen opening higher as concerns over the Omicron coronavirus variant ease after early hospital data from South Africa suggests it could result in less severe illness than previous waves. Spreadbetting firm IG expects the London index to rise 23 points at the start of trading. "Indications so far still show [Omicron] isn't prompting a big rise in hospitalisations and deaths, raising the hope that while it may be as transmissible as the common cold, that could be as bad as it gets," CMC Markets analyst Michael Hewson says.That hope drove Monday's market gains but it doesn't take too much for sentiment to switch from being positive to negative, he says.
