Analysts are predicting underlying pre-tax profits for Sainsbury’s to be about £578m in its full-year results tomorrow, down from £587m last year. City observers are concerned that the company is leaning too heavily on its recent acquisition of Home Retail, which includes Argos and Habitat. Argos delivered growth of 4.3 per cent in the fourth quarter, like-for-like food sales in the same period fell 0.5 per cent.

An investigation has thrown doubt on claims that the small, personal email server Nomx can provide "absolute security". Created by entrepreneur Will Donaldson, Nomx says it uses the "world's most secure communications protocol" to protect email messages. But security analysts cracked the device's simple passwords and hacked its hardware and software.

Its the morning after Mayday. Which also marked the exact end of Donald Trumps first 100 days. Not sure how many of us were celebrating that . But as we return to work and the Donald settles down for his NEXT 100 days, it seems a good time to take stock of his tenure for business -- and where it goes next.

While the Conservatives are still on course to win the election, the margin of victory is becoming less certain. A YouGov poll has found that Labour was up two points to 31%. A poll for the Sunday Times showed the Tories had a 13-point lead with 44% of the vote, yet a YouGov poll gave the Tories a 23-point lead last week, showing a dip of 10 points.

Figures out later are expected to show a slowdown in the UK economy. Consumers have apparently been tightening their belts in the face of rising living costs. GfK's long-running Consumer Confidence Index dropped one point to -7 this month. Four of their five indicators decreased, leaving only the Major Purchase Index going up. That means for some reason we'd be more willing to splash out on large electrical items or expensive furniture.

This Saturday there will be special Brexit summit of EU leaders, excluding Ms May, when they formally approve the negotiating guidelines that were put forward by the European Council President at the end of last month. Mrs May has already met the European Commission President and top negotiator Michel Barnier in Downing Street.

Theresa May will hold talks with the Prime Minister of Japan later as tensions continue to simmer in nearby North Korea. The pair will talk about 'global issues' at Mrs May’s Chequers residence but Downing Street insist the meeting is a long-standing engagement rather than a crisis talk in response to Kim Jong-un’s recent actions in North Korea.

A mixed bag for Twitter: The number of people using the social network has risen 14% and the firm's losses narrowed in the first three months of this year. But ad revenue fell by almost 8% from a year earlier. And now a row's brewing with the government about the decision to withdraw access to user data used to investigate potential terrorist plots.

GlaxoSmithKline has beaten analyst expectations by increasing its sales 19pc in the first quarter under new boss Emma Walmsley. Sales at the pharmaceutical giant hit £7.4bn in the three months to March 31, up from £6.2bn a year previously and higher than the £7.25bn pencilled in by analysts. But what about the pharmaceutical industry worldwide?

They're already billing it as "the biggest tax cut" in history. The White House wants taxes to go down, but for whom? And how will it be paid for?
