At 0835 GMT, the FTSE 100 was down 0.2% to 7,374.79, while the pound was up 0.1% versus the euro at 1.1221 and 0.3% firmer against the dollar at 1.3233. Spreadex analyst Connor Campbell said: "With no data to speak of the pound felt comfortable in continuing yesterday's rebound; the FTSE, on the other hand, wasn't so lucky. "Despite more negative noise from the EU surrounding Brexit - with the Netherlands preparing for a no deal 'chaos' scenario, and leaked documents suggesting May's aim of a 'deep and special' relationship won't be possible - sterling got off to a decent start this Friday." In corporate news, outsourcing and construction group Carillion fell a whopping 63% after issuing its third profit warning in 12 months, saying full-year profits will be "materially lower" than current market expectations and that it now expects to breach its covenants. United Utilities was hit by a downgrade to 'hold' from HSBC, while Supergroup fell after being downgraded to 'sector perform' at RBC Capital Markets. On the upside, broadcaster Sky was the standout gainer following reports that Comcast and Verizon have approached 21st Century Fox to buy some assets. Construction and maintenance group Kier rallied after saying it made a smooth start to the year and it is confident of delivering double-digit profit growth. Ferrexpo was on the front foot after it signed a new secured three year revolving credit facility of $195m that will be used for general corporate purposes. Pest control and hygiene company Rentokil Initial traded higher as it agreed the issue of a €400m 0.95% bond, due 22 November 2024. Petrofac gushed higher following a report that Schlumberger and Halliburton are among the companies looking to approach it with a bid. CRH was boosted by an upgrade to 'overweight' at Morgan Stanley, while B&Q owner Kingfisher edged up after an upgrade to 'sector perform' at RBC Capital Markets. |

| | Europe Market Report |  | | FTSE 100 | Euronext | Dax perf | CAC 40 |  | | | | | | Europe open: Stocks starts slightly higher, analysts wary Stocks have started the morning trading slightly higher, tracking overnight gains on Wall Street but analysts are worried about buying into Thursday's bounce. At 0811 GMT, the benchmark Stoxx 600 was ahead by 0.04% or 0.17 points to 385.10, alongside a rise of 0.20% or 25.62 points to 13,072.84 for the German Dax but a dip of 0.03% or 7.36 points for the FTSE Mibtel to 22,199.24. "European markets managed to snap their five day losing streak yesterday, as some cautious buyers returned to the fray after the worst run of daily losses so far this year. The big question remains as to whether this is merely a pause in the context of a wider correction or whether we'll see a resumption of the uptrend that has been in place since the beginning of 2016. "Having seen sharp declines last week it remains to be seen whether we'll see two successive weekly declines for markets in Europe, as we head into the weekend," said Michael Hewson, chief market analyst at CMC Markets UK. The economic calendar was light at the end of the week, with only euro area current account data for September set for release at 1000 GMT, alongside figures on construction output in the single currency bloc due out at 1000 GMT. Later in the session, US housing starts data for October were expected at 1330 GMT, followed by a speech from San Francisco Fed boss John Williams at 2230 GMT. Speaking on Thursday evening, Williams called a re-think of how central banks, globally, can stimulate their economies when many of them are facing the so-called zero bound on interest rates - including the impact of 'spill-over' effects. |

| | US Market Report | | US close: Wall Street back in the green despite tax reform concerns Wall Street was back in the green on Thursday, bouncing back from weakness earlier in the week thanks to a crop of positive corporate updates and a robust reading on factory output, even as some analysts continue to differ on the outlook. That was in spite of news overnight that US senator Ron Johnson would not support Senate Republicans' tax package, meaning that if just two other senators pulled their support, the plan would no longer be approved by the start of December. The Dow Jones Industrial Average finished ahead 0.8% at 23,458.36, the S&P 500 was up 0.82% at 2,585.64, and the Nasdaq 100 added 1.29% to 6,339.14. "Investors are beginning to punish the corporate debt and equity of highly indebted US companies," said SocGen's Albert Edwards. "We have highlighted consistently that excess US corporate debt is probably the key area of vulnerability that could bring down the QE inflated pyramid scheme that the central banks have created." Thursday's economic data was a bit of a mixed bag, with October's print on industrial production clearly better-than-expected while the import price figures for that same month contained some indications that prices were headed higher. Powering gains on the Street, Cisco Systems and Wal-Mart bounded higher on the back of their latest quarterly figures, rising 5.19% and 10.9% respectively. Shares of data storage outfit NetApp surged 15.91% after the company posted fiscal second quarter earnings of 81 cents a share, on the back of stronger-than-forecast revenues and well ahead of consensus forecasts for 69 cents. Rockwell Automation was also well bid, rising 2.54% after Emerson Electric put in a revised unsolicited bid on the industrial automation outfit of $225 a share, up from an initial $215. The Coca-Cola Company finished down 0.56%, having earlier risen after it reaffirmed its guidance on its investor day. JM Smucker was ahead 9.57% despite 2018 sales to be down slightly or flat. Bringing up the rear, Procter & Gamble was edging higher, adding 1.14% after activist investor Nelson Peltz managed to win a seat on the board. Dow Jones - Risers Wal-Mart Stores Inc.

| | Newspaper Round Up | | Friday newspaper round-up: 21st Century Fox, Black Friday, driverless cars Cable and media giant Comcast has reportedly approached 21st Century Fox about a possible acquisition, a move that comes after Disney was also reported to be circling Rupert Murdoch’s media empire. 21st Century Fox’s share price shot up in after-hours trading following the news on Thursday, first reported by CNBC. It is unclear whether the cablecompany is exploring a purchase of all or part of Fox, which owns Hollywood studios 20th Century Fox and Fox Searchlight as well as the Fox news and sports channels. – Guardian British shoppers are expected to spend £10.1bn in the week of Black Friday, nearly 4% higher than last year as more retailers take part in the US-inspired promotional day. But the bargain fever seen in earlier years is thought unlikely to materialise as most activity will be online with experts warning that the discounts are likely to be less exciting on the day, which falls on 24 November this year. ?" Guardian Jaguar Land Rover has quietly started testing driverless cars on British roads that are simultaneously being used by the general public, in a clear indication that Britain's biggest manufacturer is determined the country will play a leading role in the race to develop autonomous vehicles. Coventry-based JLR has been putting its computer-controlled vehicles. ?" Telegraph Siemens does not expect to enforce compulsory redundancies in the UK as part of plans to cut 6,900 roles worldwide. The industrial group said half of the jobs would be slashed in Germany, with around 1,100 to go in the rest of Europe and 1,800 in the US. ?" Telegraph Britain's biggest debt collector has pulled its plans for a London flotation, blaming poor and volatile market conditions amid claims it was overvalued. In what would have been one of the market's biggest listings of the year, Cabot Credit Management had hoped to complete the pricing of its shares this week. Yesterday it said that moving forward with the initial public offering "would not be in the best interest of the company or its shareholders". ?" The Times The Serious Fraud Office has charged two people in an investigation into the oil and gas company Unaoil. Ziad Akle and Basil Al Jarah have been charged with conspiracy to make corrupt payments to secure contracts in Iraq to Unaoil's client SBM Offshore between June 2005 and August 2011, the SFO said. ?"
