London Stocks Seen Opening Lower
The FTSE 100 is expected to open 52.4 points lower, according to
IG, having closed Friday at 6963.64, tracking weakness in Asia,
with other European indexes also expected to fall. "Nervousness in
financial markets seems to be originating from news that the
Chinese authorities might widen their crackdown on private industry
to real-estate firms," UniCredit says. Worries about the potential
fallout from troubles at Chinese property company Evergrande,
alongside continuing concerns about rising inflation and slower
growth also concern investors. Focus this week will center on a
Federal Reserve policy decision on Wednesday.
