Sept 19 -Britain's FTSE 100 .FTSE index is seen opening higher on Thursday, with futures FFIc1 up 0.89%.


* BOE:The Bank of England looks set to keep interest rates on hold on Thursday as it awaits signs that inflation risks are quashed, putting the focus instead on a decision about bond sales that could feed into Finance Minister Rachel Reeves' first budget.

* BP: BP's Pan American Energy BPPAE.UL is looking to negotiate contracts with Asian consumers to allocate liquefied natural gas from a floating project in Argentina, Rodolfo Freyre, a company vice president, told the GasTech conference on Wednesday.

* FOREIGN INVESTMENT: Britain could attract up to 7.7 billion pounds ($10.2 billion) in additional foreign sovereign investment by 2030 if it pursues a long-term blueprint for enticing such funds, a report said.

* OIL:Oil prices fell in Asian trading on Thursday after a larger-than-expected Federal Reserve interest rate cut sparked concerns about the U.S. economy.

* GOLD:Gold prices held steady on Thursday after hitting a record high in the previous session, after the U.S. Federal Reserve delivered a super-sized interest rate cut.

* METALS:Prices of most base metals trended lower on Thursday, weighed down by a stronger U.S. dollar after the Federal Reserve unveiled its oversized interest rate cut that had been largely priced in by markets.

* EX-DIVS:Drax DRX.L, Unite Group UTG.L and IG Group IGG.L will trade without entitlement to its latest dividend pay-out on Thursday, along with Energean ENOG.L and Essentra ESNT.L.
