The **FTSE 100** is expected to edge lower when trading opens on Tuesday, though a busy slate of corporate results could yet sway sentiment.

Futures suggest the London benchmark will open around **17 points down**, extending Monday’s modest dip that left the index at **9,534.91**. Updates from heavyweights including **easyJet, Kingfisher, Next and Compass Group** may inject volatility as investors digest fresh earnings signals.

Overnight, US markets mounted a powerful rally led by technology stocks, reflecting renewed optimism surrounding artificial intelligence — and mounting expectations of another Federal Reserve rate cut next month. The **Nasdaq surged 2.7%**, the **S&P 500 climbed 1.6%** and the **Dow Jones gained 0.4%**, while the **Russell 2000 jumped 1.9%**.

Momentum was boosted after **Fed Governor Christopher Waller** joined New York Fed chief **John Williams** in suggesting that a December rate cut remains firmly on the table, reinforcing hopes of looser monetary policy.

Asian markets painted a mixed picture. Japan’s **Nikkei** and India’s **Sensex** hovered just above flat, while Hong Kong’s **Hang Seng rose 0.3%** and the **Shanghai Composite added 0.9%**. Other regional markets drifted lower, underscoring ongoing uncertainty despite improving sentiment in the US.

With global cues pulling in different directions, London looks set for a cautious start — though today’s corporate updates could quickly change the tone.
