FTSE 100 Poised to Fall After Downbeat Asia Trading
0728 GMT - The FTSE 100 Index looks set to open 37 points lower
at 7462, according to IG futures data, after mostly downbeat
trading in Asia, though Wall Street closed higher. Markets in
Australia, Hong Kong and Japan fall, but mainland China stocks
rise. Brent crude gains 0.2% to $75.67 a barrel. The Dow advanced
0.2%. "Despite the positive finish on Wall Street, European markets
look set to lose out with a negative open, as U.S. markets start to
come back into favor," CMC Markets analyst Michael Hewson writes.
