The Papers

Morning All.

Good morning!

London's blue chips are set for a modest open, with financial spread betting firms calling a 7 point rise for the FTSE 100, despite strong gains for markets in the US and Asia overnight as global equities continue to play pass the parcel with positive sentiment.

I'm not sure I get this. US up 100 since our close and IG now calling FTSE flat. We shall see

FTSE absolutely flat so far ...

someone give it a kick

lol Skinny.

Dow up another 60 and FTSE managed a measly 12.

At least it is going in the right direction for me :-)
