FTSE 100 Seen Opening Lower After Tuesday's Gains
0742 GMT - The FTSE 100 is expected to open lower after gains in
the previous session when concerns about the Omicron coronavirus
variant receded. Spreadbetting firm IG expects the index to start
down 11 points after rising to a three-week high of 7344 points on
Tuesday. The past two days "have been ones of unbridled optimism"
on growing hope that any fallout from Omicron will be mild and that
there will be less hospitalizations and deaths compared to the
Delta variant, CMC Markets analyst Michael Hewson says. "Today's
European open could well see a modest pause on a day that is fairly
data light." (renae.dyer@wsj.com)
