UK Stocks-Factors to watch on August 1
Aug 1 -Britain's FTSE 100 .FTSE index is seen opening higher on Thursday, with futures FFIc1 up 0.3%.
* INTEREST RATES: The Bank of England looks in a position to cut interest rates on Thursday after holding them at a 16-year high of 5.25% for the past year, though markets and economists are far from certain the British central bank will take the plunge.
* WOOD GROUP: UK's John Wood Group WG.L extended the deadline by which Dubai-based engineering and consulting firm Sidara would need to make a firm offer for the company to not later than August 9.
* OIL: Oil prices rose during Asian trade, extending gains from the previous session, after the killing of a Hamas leader in Iran raised the threat of a wider Middle East conflict and concern over its impact on oil.
* METALS: Prices of copper and most other base metals traded higher, supported by a softer U.S. dollar and expectations of further stimulus to help revive demand from top consumer China.
* EX-DIVS: RELX, REL.L Lloyds Banking LLOY.L and Reckitt RKT.L will trade without entitlement to their latest dividend pay-outs on Thursday.
* FTSE: London stocks ended July on a high note, supported by gains in energy and mining stocks and positive corporate updates, while investors eagerly await the U.S. Federal Reserve's interest rate decision.
