UK Stocks-Factors to watch on Oct 24
Oct 24 (Reuters) -Britain's FTSE 100 .FTSE index is seen opening higher on Thursday, with futures FFIc1 up 0.22%.
* CAR PRODUCTION: UK car output fell for the seventh consecutive month in September, as factories wind down production of current models to retool for new zero-emission vehicles (ZEV), industry data showed.
* OIL: Oil prices climbed by more than 1%, almost reversing previous session's losses, as Middle East tensions came back into focus ahead of the U.S. election despite a mixed bag of U.S. fuel inventories.
* GOLD: Gold prices drifted higher as safe-haven demand countered a firmer U.S. dollar, with analysts expecting record highs for bullion, while palladium hit its highest in more than a month.
* EX-DIVS: Bae Systems BAES.L will trade without entitlement to its latest dividend pay-out on Thursday.
* London's blue-chip stock index extended declines for a fourth straight session on Wednesday, dragged down by mining stocks as the upcoming UK budget and the U.S. presidential election prompted investors to shy away from risky assets.
