0853 GMT - Pearson's exposure to the U.S. might raise some concerns, AJ Bell's Russ Mould says. The dollar's weakness against sterling is a potential concern for the headline numbers going forward, Mould notes. The London-listed education company's expected accelerated growth in the second of the half remains uncertain given the current environment in the U.S., he says. Additionally, Trump administration's plans for the Education Department might not be helpful either, he adds. Shares are down 2.3% at 1,147.50 pence. (najat.kantouar@wsj.com)
