• UK stock market morning note (September 18, 2015)

    The FTSE 100 is called to open flat to slightly lower this morning following the mixed overnight performances on Wall Street and in Asia after the US Federal Reserve left interest rates unchanged citing global economic and financial developments and noting that the risks to the US economy remained nearly balanced for its decision. There is no major economic data due for release today as we end a busy week. Commodity prices are weaker and on the foreign exchanges, the pound is mixed against the dollar and the euro but all the key currencies are within narrow trading ranges. It is also a quiet day for major corporate news.
