Tue, 10th Nov 2009 07:11
LONDON, Nov 10 (Reuters) - Britain's FTSE 100 index is seen opening
up 35 to 37 points on Tuesday, tracking gains in the U.S. where the Dow Jones
Industrial Average hit a 13-month high after the Group of 20 pledged to
keep aid flowing to the world economy.
Financial bookmakers expect the UK blue-chip index to gain as much as 0.7
percent on opening, having hit its highest closing level in more than two weeks
the previous session, rising 92.46 points, or 1.8 percent, to 5,235.18.
House prices in England and Wales rose last month at their strongest rate in
almost three years, buoyed by tight supply and record low interest rates, a
survey showed on Tuesday.
British retail sales values rose last month at their fastest annual pace
since April to notch up their best showing for a month of October in seven
years, a survey showed on Tuesday.
UK September trade balance numbers will be released, at 0930 GMT.
