London Stocks Seen Opening Higher

0749 GMT - The FTSE 100 index is expected to open 19 points higher, according to IG, having closed on Monday at 7474.02 as equities and oil prices recovered during Asian trade. "Stocks and oil prices staged a turnaround in Asia overnight, following reports that China would provide fresh support to the property sector, while hopes of an earlier loosening of Covid restrictions in response to public unrest added to the positive tone of the session," IG analysts write. Risk assets in Europe and the U.S. are set to recover after Monday's losses, but nervousness will persist ahead of a speech Wednesday by Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, IG says.
