A quiet end top the week is in prospect, with no major company results expected in the UK, and no major economic announcements either.
German producer prices, due out before London opens on Friday, might generate a bit of interest on the European mainland. Expectations are that the index will show a 0.4% rise in July after falling 0.4% in June. The year-on-year gain is expected to moderate to 1.3% from 1.6% in June.
