UK Stocks-Factors to watch on Nov 1
Nov 1 (Reuters) -Britain's FTSE 100 .FTSE index is seen opening higher on Friday, with futures FFIc1 up 0.14%.
* UK BONDS: British government bond prices tumbled for a second day on Thursday as investors judged finance minister Rachel Reeves' first budget would boost inflation and cause the Bank of England to cut interest rates more slowly.
* BABY FORMULA TRIALS: Abbott ABT.N and Reckitt RKT.L unit Mead Johnson are not responsible for a young boy's debilitating intestinal disease, a jury found on Thursday in a lawsuit accusing them of failing to warn of their premature baby formulas' risks, a victory for the two companies following large losses in similar trials.
* OIL: Oil prices extended gains on Friday, climbing more than $1 a barrel to pare weekly losses, as geopolitical tensions in the Middle East rose following reports that Iran was preparing a retaliatory strike on Israel from Iraq in the coming days.
* GOLD: Gold traded little changed as investors refrained from taking big positions ahead of the U.S. payrolls data that could provide further clues about the Federal Reserve's interest rate outlook.
* METALS: London copper edged up as a softer U.S. dollar made greenback-priced metals cheaper to holders of other currencies, but was set for a weekly decline amid caution ahead of the U.S. presidential election and a key policy meeting in China.
* The UK's main stock indexes fell to a near three-month low on Thursday as investors scaled back bets of rate cuts from the Bank of England (BoE) following Britain's new big-spending budget plans which has revived worries about inflation.
