FTSE 100 futures on the rebound into the opening
As noted here earlier, the FTSE 100 closed lower yesterday and it was below the 8,200 handle too. As also mentioned that lower close was possibly due to flow back into the German market as a hedge against UK election risk. The same tenet applied to the CAC 40 too. So the FTSE 100 closed 45 points lower, at 8,179.68. The index was not helped by losses in GSK (as noted here yesterday morning) . That stock led the FTSE lower. However, the slightly higher UK Q1 revision released earlier this morning (Q1 GDP revised to +0.3% from +0.2%) has helped to lift the opening outlook for the index and right now it is poised to effectively resume live trade any minute, at around 8,217
