updates: Stock prices in London made strong gains on Wednesday morning, with sentiment lifted by inflation readings from the UK and US, alongside robust data from China. The FTSE 100 index opened up 1.2% at 7,525.94, driven by broad-based gains in retailers, property stocks, and miners. UK consumer price inflation cooled dramatically last month, undershooting the Bank of England's forecasts, reinforcing expectations that UK interest rates have peaked and driving speculation of potential rate cuts. Wall Street also rallied on Tuesday, with positive economic data from China boosting mining stocks in London. Additionally, Japan's economy shrank more than expected in the third quarter. Vodafone slumped following its half-yearly report, while mining stocks dragged down the FTSE 100 as prices of most metals slipped, leading to a sell-off in metal mining shares. Diageo saw its shares drop after expecting a decline in organic operating profit growth. Homebuilder Persimmon expects its annual profit and revenue to be at the lower end of its forecast range. Pro-Palestinian protesters also blocked the entrances to a BAE Systems factory in southeast England, calling for an end to arms sales to Israel. Gold prices gained 1% as the dollar and Treasury yields retreated after softer-than-expected U.S. consumer inflation data fueled more bets that the Federal Reserve may be done hiking interest rates. The positive data from China helped to lift shares in London's mining stocks, with the country being a key buyer of industrial metals. Anglo American rose 2.8%, Fresnillo 2.6%, and Endeavour up 2.4%. Japan's economy shrank by 0.5% between June and September compared to the second quarter, worse than the consensus forecast of minus 0.1%. The FTSE 100 index opened up 85.47 points, 1.2%, at 7,525.94. London's large-cap index saw broad-based gains, with an especially strong performance from retailers and property stocks following a surprise UK inflation print. Miners also rose following stronger-than-expected economic data from China. UK consumer price inflation cooled dramatically last month, undershooting the Bank of England's forecasts, and sealing a victory for Rishi Sunak in his goal to halve inflation by the end of the year. The data has helped to reinforce the market's expectation that UK interest rates have peaked, and driven expectations that rate cuts could be sooner than previously thought. In the US on Tuesday, Wall Street rallied, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average up 1.4%, the S&P 500 up 1.9% and the Nasdaq Composite 2.4%. Chinese retail sales grew by more than expected, boosted by an extended holiday at the start of the month. Retail sales jumped 7.6% on-year in October, according to the National Bureau of Statistics, up from September's 5.5% and the highest growth since May. It was ahead of the market consensus of 7.0%. Global shares powered higher on Wednesday, cheered by a broad rally on Wall Street after an encouraging U.S. inflation report raised hopes for an end to interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve. France's CAC 40 rose 0.5% in early trading to 7,221.25. Germany's DAX edged 0.2% higher, to 15,644.95, while Britain's FTSE 100 surged 1.0% to 7,515.58. The future for the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 0.2% and that for the S&P 500 gained 0.3%.
