FTSE 100

Key insight

10,684 confirmed above the 2024 all-time high at 10,500 — next resistance is the round 11,000 level; pullbacks to 10,500–10,550 are the structural buy zone while global equities hold their uptrend.

10,684 holds above the 200-day MA near 10,400 and the 2025 breakout zone at 10,500 — index printing fresh multi-year highs with gold at $4,335 lifting heavyweight miners and energy names.

Main risk

Brent Crude -1.5% intraday collapse

Oil at $100.1 (-1.5%) drags BP and Shell — energy is the FTSE's largest sector; a break below $97 risks a 1–2% index-level drag.
