Sept 15 (Reuters) - Britain's FTSE 100 .FTSE index is seen opening six
points higher at 6,032 on Tuesday, according to financial bookmakers, with
futures up 0.11% ahead of cash market open.

expects to meet the upper end of current analyst expectations for the full year,
driven by strong performance in its sensors and information business.
* MITIE GROUP/INTERSERVE: Britain's competition watchdog said it was
investigating whether outsourcer Mitie Group 's MTO.L deal to buy rival
Interserve's support services arm could lead to lessening of competition in the
UK. * DOMINO'S PIZZA: Domino's Pizza Group DOM.L said on Tuesday it was
creating 5,000 new jobs in the UK, including chefs and delivery drivers, on top
of the 6,000 jobs it had created since the start of the coronavirus pandemic.
* OCADO GROUP: Ocado Group OCDO.L , the British online supermarket and
technology group, said on Tuesday Ocado Retail's revenue rose 52% in the 13
weeks to Aug. 30, with the coronavirus pandemic generating huge demand for
online deliveries.
* GOLD: Gold prices rose on Tuesday as the dollar remained subdued, with
investors turning their focus to a U.S. Federal Reserve monetary policy meeting,
seeking details of its plans on inflation targeting. * OIL: Oil prices slipped on Tuesday as worries over slow recovery in global
fuel demand were reinforced by warnings by major oil producers, but
short-covering ahead of a meeting later this week of OPEC and its allies, known
as OPEC+, limited losses. * The UK blue-chip index .FTSE shed 0.1% on Monday, as the prospect of
waning demand weighed on heavyweight energy stocks, while security firm G4S
