FTSE 100 Expected to Open Higher After Latest UK Employment
Data
0642 GMT - The FTSE 100 is seen opening higher as investors
assess the latest U.K. employment data. IG futures data show the
London index rising 18 points. The U.K. unemployment rate was
little changed at 3.8% in the three months to June while the number
of people in employment increased 160,000 over the quarter and
average earnings excluding bonuses rose 4.7%, according to the
Office for National Statistics. "Overall, today's data has shown
once again that the labour market is as tight as it can be but the
important thing to note is the wage growth," AvaTrade analyst Naeem
Aslam writes. The labor market has been described as extremely
constrained recently with many available positions, he says.
