Business Live: Dow Jones hits high - BBC News
The US index has climbed on strong company results and an export-boosting weak dollar.
The governor of the Bank of England believes that the UK's financial sector could double in size in the next 25 years but only if the government holds fast and does not water down regulation following Brexit.

In an interview with The Guardian to mark the 10 year anniversary of the global financial crisis in August 2007, he predicts that the financial industry could grow to be 20 times as big as GDP.

He told The Guardian : "We have a view… that post-Brexit the level of regulation will be at least as high as it currently is and that’s a level that in many cases substantially exceeds international norms.

"If the UK financial system thrives in a post-Brexit world, which is the plan, it will not be 10 times GDP, it will be 15 to 20 times GDP in another quarter of century because we will keep our market share of cross-border capital flows. Well then you really have to hold your nerve and keep the focus.”
