Key insight
10,700 round-number support holds intraday; break below 10,650 (50-day MA) opens 10,450 swing low. Oil +2.7% to $86.5 lifts energy names, partially offsetting gold -1.1% drag on miners.
Holding 10,705 after modest -0.36% drift; FTSE underperforms DAX's -0.7% loss on GBP/USD strength at 1.3646 — sterling headwind caps export-heavy constituents at near-term highs.
Main risk
GBP/USD strength at 1.3646
GBP/USD at 1.3646 (+0.3%) squeezes dollar-revenue translators in energy and pharma — FTSE's top 20 earn ~75% overseas.
