Good morning traders!

I guess the big news today will be whether AstraZeneca can recover from yesterday's crash or whether they will continue to tumble. I must say it doesn't sound too good for their Exanta drug.

Amonth reporting companies today, Aga Foodservice Group are forecast to come in slightly better than last year with pretax profit of 15.4m vs 14.8m and interim dividend 2.42p vs 2.20p

Brandon Tool Hire could be interesting if its recent acquisitions are assimilating OK. Wouldn't be surprised to hear of more.

Retail Decisions, fresh from their M&S contract, might be the one to watch today.

Happy trading!
