S&P 500 (-0.22%) and Nasdaq (-0.74%) futures are lower this morning. 7am BST: Barclays half year results, Unilever half year results, GSK second quarter earnings, Games Workshop full year results Today: Tate & Lyle holds a general meeting in London for shareholders to vote on proposed acquisition by Ingredion Continue reading...
