FTSE 100 Seen Opening Higher as Traders Weigh China Data, Rate
Cut
0642 GMT - The FTSE 100 is seen opening higher following a mixed
session in Asia as investors digest Chinese economic data and an
unexpected interest rate cut by the People's Bank of China. The
London stocks index is expected to open up 33 points, according to
IG. Chinese data on industrial production, retail sales and fixed
asset investment were all weaker than expected while the PBOC cut
its medium-term lending rate by 10 basis points to 2.75% on Monday.
"The bank has taken this action to revive and stimulate growth as
the country's housing sector has seen a serious downtrend, and
other Covid-related lockdowns aren't helping," AvaTrade analyst
Naeem Aslam writes. (renae.dyer@wsj.com)
