The UK 100 called to open -75 points at 7,900. The UK 100 looks set to open sharply lower this morning ahead of todays Non Farm payrolls data.

On Wall Street yesterday, all three major averages took a sharp downturn late in the session, falling more than 2% off their intraday highs. Between its highs and lows of the day, the Dow swung more than 860 points. The Dow Jones lost 530.16 points, or 1.35%, to close at 38,596.98, its worst session since March 2023, and it logged its fourth consecutive losing day. The S&P dropped 1.23% to end at 5,147.21. The Nasdaq dipped 1.40% to close at 16,049.08. In Asia this morning, the Nikkei 225 in Tokyo lost 2.1%, while the Hang Seng Index in Hong Kong was down 0.1%. Financial markets in Shanghai were closed. In Sydney, the S&P/ASX 200 fell 0.6%.
