UK Stocks -- Factors to watch on Nov 9

LONDON, Nov 9 (Reuters) - Britain's FTSE 100 .FTSE was seen opening up
29-33 points on Monday, as investors saw appetite for risk persisting after the
Group of 20 pledged to keep stimulus measures until the economic recovery was
assured.

Financial bookmakers saw the index gaining as much as 0.6 percent, after it
gained 0.3 percent on Friday, putting it on track for a fourth consecutive
session of gains.

G20 financial leaders, meeting for a third time this year, launched a new
framework for discussions on rebalancing the global economy and agreed it was
too early to pull the plug on economic support for a fragile economic recovery.

This helped Asian shares gain ground with shares outside Japan
.MIAPJ0000PUS up 1 percent, paving the way for a stronger opening in the UK
and around Europe.

Risk appetite was also boosted by more signs of takeover activity taking off
with share as Europe's second largest insurer AXA SA (AXAF.PA) unveiled a
planned $7 billion buy-out of its Asian assets and sale of its Australian assets
to local rival AMP Ltd. [ID:nSYD420146]

On the British market, there will be a close watch on Cadbury (CBRY.L) as
Kraft Foods (KFT.N) is expected to formalise a hostile bid valued at around 10.2
billion pounds ($16.7 billion), sources familiar with the situation said.

Miners were set to be among the strongest gainers with metal prices firmer
and gold XAU= hitting another record high on a weaker U.S. dollar.
