Key insight

10,900 resistance unchallenged — FTSE needs a GBP/USD pullback or energy sector follow-through from $90 oil to sustain upside; Gold at $4,472 (+1.9%) signals defensive rotation that suits UK defensives.

10,835 holds above the 200-day MA (~10,600) but stalls short of the 2024 record high near 10,900 — range-bound with no catalyst to break either way today.

Main risk

GBP/USD strength at 1.3527

GBP/USD +0.3% to 1.3527 compresses FTSE's export-heavy earners — sustained cable strength above 1.35 mechanically caps index upside.
