FTSE 100 Rebounds Amid Global Uncertainty

The FTSE 100 edged up 0.6% to 10,316.05, led by gains in HSBC, Standard Chartered, and Prudential—driven by Hong Kong-exposed stocks rebounding from China’s new cross-border rules. Meanwhile, European tech firms like Relx and Sage Group fell, pressured by Oracle’s AI spending and UBS’s IT sector downgrade. Frasers Group rose on its €2B Hugo Boss bid, while Wizz Air surged on strong profits despite Iran-related revenue warnings. Halma plummeted 12.6% after downgrading 2027 revenue forecasts. All eyes now turn to the ECB’s rate decision today and the Bank of England’s possible 25bp hike in September, amid Middle East tensions adding volatility to the market.
