UK Stocks-Factors to watch on Oct 8
Oct 8 (Reuters) -Britain's FTSE 100 .FTSE index is seen opening lower, with futures FFIc1 down 0.49%.
* UNILEVER: Unilever ULVR.L is spending over 150 million euros to revamp its European homecare business' supply chain, a senior executive told Reuters, aiming to make up for years of underperformance and tap into young, post-pandemic shoppers.
* CONSUMER SPENDING: British shoppers increased their spending moderately in annual terms last month despite industry concerns about tax rises in finance minister Rachel Reeves' upcoming budget and a looming rise in household energy bills, a survey showed on Tuesday.
* BUSINESS CONFIDENCE: British firms have grown more downbeat about the outlook as concerns about the tax impact of the new Labour government's upcoming autumn budget and conflict in the Middle East dampened sentiment, a survey showed on Tuesday.
* OIL: Oil prices fell more than $1 on Tuesday as traders took profits from a rally in the previous session that lifted the market to its highest level in over a month amid fears that the Middle East could be on the brink of a region-wide war.
* GOLD: Gold prices edged lower on Tuesday, pressured by a stronger dollar, while market participants awaited minutes of the Federal Reserve's last meeting and economic data for further cues on U.S. interest rate path.
* METALS: Prices of London base metals slipped on Tuesday, with copper hitting its lowest in more than one week, as initial optimism over top consumer China's stimulus measures faded while the latest government briefing failed to lift investor sentiment.
* Britain's benchmark FTSE 100 index rose on Monday, boosted by gains in energy shares and a softer labour market report, though losses in precious metal miners kept gains in check.
