Of the major bourses, the U.K.’s FTSE 100 index was on track to open down 48 points at 7,173, France’s CAC was seen 31 points lower at 6,862 and Germany’s DAX was expected to open down 71 points at 15,906, according to IG.

European stocks closed out a tenth consecutive positive trading session on Friday, shortly after MSCI’s aggregate gauge of global stock markets hit a new record high.

Market participants on Monday closely monitored the potential geopolitical implications of the sudden collapse of the Afghanistan government.

No divi and with a predicted tough winter ahead for CNA, it looks like brown panty time for 'OH LOOK' STRESSED AND OBSESSED PURCHASE_ATTHEBOTTOM1 (AKA DIOHOHKU).

Who knows?"No 2021 interim dividend is being declared. We recognise the importance of dividends to shareholders and intend to recommence dividends to shareholders when it is prudent to do so."

Is Centrica likely to restore any form of dividend soon ? Thanks

Overnight, MSCI’s aggregate gauge of global stock markets hit a new record high.

“Arguably, markets are now more focused on the state of play regarding Covid, and in particular, the spread of the Delta variant,” Xian Chan, chief investment officer for wealth management at HSBC, said in a note.

LONDON — European markets are heading for a cautious open Friday, as investors assessed global economic indicators and rising Covid-19 cases in the search for direction.

Britain’s FTSE 100 is seen around 7 points higher at 7,200, Germany’s DAX is set to add around 7 points to 15,945 and France’s CAC 40 is set to nudge around 2 points higher to 6,884, according to IG data.

Dio said over on the Saga chat 'Thinking of cutting my CNA losses'. Well it's a bit late for that dio. You bought at 1.60😂.

[norma_noog] 11/8/2021 22:44

The gullible bought CNA at 1.60😃.

[norma_noog] 11/8/2021 17:33

Consecutive up days. Not surprised after the terrible run this has been on! We need a sense of perspective and balance here, far too many rampers. This has been a real dog for months now and poor old purchase_atthebottom1 lost her pension pot buying at 1.60 and got sent packing with a flea in her ear.. 60p is a possibility short term but that is it. Best avoided as this is likely to struggle over the winter months. Wish I could be a bit more positive but can't see any reason to at the present time.

U.K. power and gas network companies face lower returns over the next five years after the U.K. Competition and Markets Authority provisionally upheld new rules by the energy regulator Ofgem to cut regulated profits for the April 2021-March 2026 period.

The CMA on Wednesday published a provisional decision on the new rules following appeals by the infrastructure companies. It's final report is due by the end of October.

The regulation will affect network infrastructure owners such as National Grid PLC, SSE PLC and ScottishPower's owner Iberdrola S.A.

Shares in National Grid at 0805 GMT were down 0.8% at 944 pence. SSE was up 0.2% at 1,616 pence.

If you do not like Centrica why waste your energy here. Better go eith the one you like.

[norma_noog] 08/8/2021 23:46

CNA losing customers, reducing employees and thus the quality of its service. I can't see how the business will increase its turnover/profits by any significant amount. People getting excited by a 2% rise to 48p.........but it wss 55p not long ago and much higher in years gone by. . The share price is unlikely to get above 60p for some considerable time. I have decided to avoid CNA for the reasons stated. No point leaving your capital trapped here, get your cash working for you elsewhere.

[jayson26jay] 08/8/2021 22:42

CNA management like to be praised on cutting costs. Yet only manage to match the decline in customer numbers. Managing a decline. Talk about energy price rises not good for CNA, customer losses will increase and consumers will reduce consumption. Upstream won't offset as they continue to drop output (due to cutting capital expenditure) and management have now tainted the services business with their touch.
