Please find below the Morning Report from David Evans, market analyst at BetOnMarkets.com
The FTSE is currently indicating a flat opening, as traders are debating how to position themselves ahead of the UK retail sales which is due out tomorrow. While analysts are expecting for the number to fall by 0.4% some are concerned that with the latest round of job losses the number will be much lower.
Crude oil was trading around the 53 dollar level after the U.S. stock market decline has little effect on it. The SP500 fell following calls by the nations top banking officials for stronger regulation of financial firms. Traders are speculating that Energy Department report which will be released at 10.30 am EST will show a drawdown in oil inventory. Since the drop is already priced in, there is risk for a fall towards the 50 dollar level should the inventory levels not match expectations.
