Pre-Market FTSE 100

FTSE100 to open down -67pps as London misses out on the AI-led risk-on wave from Wall Street while an elevated Brent crude cushions its heavy energy weighting, with the S&P 500 closing +0.7% and the Nasdaq +0.8% after Anthropic's IPO filing reignited the AI trade, Asia mixed as the Kospi surged over 3% and Tokyo added 1.7% against a weaker Hang Seng and CSI 300, Brent holding above $115 on persistent Middle East supply risk and the 10-year Treasury yield steady below 5%, sterling softer at $1.332, with US consumer confidence the sole macro read of note.
