"I've always taken the view that there is a very high probability of QE3"
- Robert Parker, a senior adviser at Credit Suisse Asset Management
U.K. banks were closed on Monday in observance of the Summer Bank Holiday.
U.K. stocks were little changed on Friday as speculation that the Federal reserve will ease monetary policy offset worse than expected unemployment claims report in the U.S. The FTSE 100 Index was unchanged at 5,776.60. The broader FTSE All-Share Index slid to 3,002.62.
"I've always taken the view that there is a very high probability of QE3," said Robert Parker, a senior adviser at Credit Suisse Asset Management in London.
"Politically, I think that has to be in September."
