Proactive Investors - FTSE 100 set for modest gains.
The FTSE 100 is expected to start the week on the front foot ahead of a raft of PMI readings.
Spread betting companies are calling London’s lead index up by around 15 points after closing down 6.62 points at 7,615.54 on Friday.
In the US on Friday, markets made further gains despite a blow-out jobs report which killed hopes of a March rate cut across the pond and left analysts wondering if one would even arrive in May.
Andrew Hunter at Capital Economics said the "big picture for now is that markets are no longer convinced that the Fed will cut rates in May, let alone March."
Back in London, and the early focus will be a trading update from Vodafone (LON:VOD) with a services sector PMI reading to come.
