Debenhams results are shocking and give a clear insight to how bad things are for the major retailers. This is bad news and a bad day for investor confidence in M&S.

Sometimes companies need to die.....

Market report:

Retailers led the FTSE 100 index higher on Tuesday as the squeeze on household real incomes was shown to be easing.

UK average weekly earnings rose 2.8% in the three months to February compared to the same period last year, figures from the Office for National Statistics showed on Tuesday morning. Excluding bonuses, average weekly earnings growth improved to 2.8% from 2.6% a month ago, as the Bank of England had forecast for the first half of 2018.

Both measures overtook consumer price inflation, which came in at 2.7% for February.

The update on wages is an encouraging one for retailers, said analyst Chris Beauchamp at IG, with Next, Tesco and Marks & Spencer were among the top risers. Tesco was still basking in the glow of its strong numbers from last week.

Shorters doomed to failure unlimited major loses.

Primark owner Associated British Foods (ABF) rose 4.3% to £26.95, driven by the budget-friendly retailer's 3% UK like-for-like sales growth in the 24 weeks to 3 March.

JD Sports surged after the retailer posted a 24% jump in full-year profit as sales grew and the company's international expansion paid off.

Please do your own research.

Morning All,

With the expected good weather this week, hopefully retail sales will get a good boost, wiping out the 6%?? drop in shoppers in March.

Morning All,

I think what helped MKS shares yesterday was the optimistic forecasts for the UK economy from Philip Hammond in his first Spring Statement. This strengthened Sterling by over 1% which helps MKS buy stock cheaper, so make more profit. Plus if the economy does well, eventually more money in customers pockets to spend. ;o)

Should close blue again today.

Please do your own research..
