FTSE 100
NeutralArchived analysis from Aug 21, 2026, 1:22 PM
Key insight
10,800 round-number resistance unbroken — FTSE needs a close above to confirm breakout; gold at 4,583 lifts miners but sterling strength offsets USD revenue for majors.
Holds 10,781 but lags DAX (+0.4%) and S&P 500 (+0.4%) — GBP/USD at 1.3638 crimps FTSE's export-earner translation effect, capping upside.
Main risk
GBP/USD strength at 1.3638
GBP at 1.3638 erodes USD-denominated earnings for FTSE's large-cap multinationals; every 1% GBP rise cuts index EPS ~2%.
