FTSE seen opening tentatively amid macro, Opec factors

StockMarketWire.com

London equities are seen starting today's session tentatively as traders look to Bank of England's financial stability report and FPC statement late morning, and US preliminary GDP numbers later this afternoon.

Markets for stocks and commodities remain very jittery after UK's non-binding Brexit vote and Donald Trump's presidential election win in the US.

Oil prices are prone to volatility ahead of Opec's meeting on Nov. 30 in Vienna, where the cartel is expected to introduce a production cap.

US & ASIA

On Wall St overnight, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.28% to 19,097.9, the S&P 500 lost 0.53% to 2201.72 and the Nasdaq Composite eased 0.56% to 5368.81.

In Asia this morning, the Nikkei 225 had fallen 0.24% to 18,313.04, while the Hang Seng lost 0.22% to 22,780.04.

At about 6.10am, WTI crude was down 0.85% to $46.68/bbl and Brent was down 0.91% to $47.80/bbl. Gold was down 0.05% to $1193.2/oz.

LONDON MARKETS

Interim results are due from Acal, Cranswick, Digital Barriers, Eckoh, GB Group, Hogg Robinson, IG Design, KCOM Group, Motorpoint Group, Park Group, Torotrak and Versarien.

Final results are expected from Patisserie Holdings, Countryside Properties, Easyhotel, Shaftesbury, SSP Group and Topps Tiles.

FTSE100 called to open down a touch.

OPEC in disarray. Saudi Arabia putting its own interests first and foremost. One day left to cut a deal.

Saudi Arabia caused the problem, they will have to fix it.

From the same article:

Seems like he is keeping the faith with local residents:



Goldsmith is defending an enormous 23K majority and bravely triggered the by-election by keeping to a longstanding promise to defy his party on a matter of profound local importance - the third runway at Heathrow. While his rivals share that position, the former Tory has proven his mettle as a loyal constituency representative.

This comment on your link sums it up save that it omits the fact that he rarely does any work in the ~House of Commons. Just 12 contributions to debate in the last year.

There are many reasons why Zac can lose this election, here's 3.

1. He ran a mayoral campaign that was widely acknowledged as divisive and rascist that Londoners rejected.

2. He voted to take away benefits of £30 a week to the disabled and was made to stand down as a patron of a disability charity. Zac inherited a fortune and was a nondom before entering Parliament. His constituents might be some of the wealthiest in London but most have earned their wealth and are not blind to social justice.

3. Zac voted for Brexit whilst 72% of his constituency voted to Remain.

The bottom line is Zac does not vote or act in alignment with his constituents. He has not kept his promise to stand down because there is no Conservative alternative to vote for.

It remains to be seen if the Lib Dems can overturn the Tory lead, but certainly there are many arguments that the Zac Goldsmith brand is tainted.

The clever money is on the Lib Dems.

Anybodies guess...local issue with brexit thrown in to muddy the waters.

I see that the Telegraph has studiously avoided mentioning it for two weeks. I wonder why?

I'm not eligible to vote in that particular constituency, leedskier.

Will you be voting in the Richmond by-election AV?

Thursday is the all important day politically this week. It is the Richmond by-election. The vast majority of the electorate are said to be firmly in the 'remain' camp. Will the vote signal post referendum blues (pun intended)? There is speculation that the Liberal Democrat candidate may win it.

England in some trouble in the 3rd test. Another wicket falls -- Stokes LBW. 78 for 4. Still chasing India's lead.

With Fillon more or less assured of the French Presidency there is good news and bad news.

The good news is that he will not be as hostile towards the UK as Hollande, the bad news is that he will want to strengthen Paris as a financial centre within the EU, which means the City will lose out.
