Good morning traders!

Looking bright on the Asian markets this morning, after the US good close Friday. The Nikkei just closed almost 140 points up and Hong Kong is currently about 190 ahead.

Off to find the breaking news....

Happy Monday!

WHITBREAD CUT TO 'NEUTRAL' VS 'BUY' AT UBS

SPIRENT UPGRADED TO 'BUY' VS 'NEUTRAL' AT UBS

Morning all.

Morning all. Will FTSE breach 5000 and BARC 600 this week? The Observer's mention of 15% increase in profits and divi's plus speculation that it will be a target for a foreign bidder may help BARC.

Morning Druid. I think BARC has the better chance of topping your figure. FTSE air gets a bit thin towards the 5000 mark...

Morning All,

Sold RR.+5.

5000 used to be support quite some time ago but now it could be resistance!!

Afternoon from a late bunny - much thanks to Greystone and Limps.
