FTSE 100

Key insight

10,468 lags peers — oil's 3.8% drop hits FTSE's large energy sector; break above 10,550 (Aug swing high) needed to confirm upside, else range between 10,200 MA support and 10,550 resistance persists.

10,468 holds above the 200-day MA near 10,200 but trails DAX (+1.0%) and S&P 500 (+0.9%), constrained by GBP/USD at 1.3217 and heavy energy drag from oil at $88.7 (-3.8%).

Main risk

Brent Oil Selloff / Energy Sector Drag

Oil at $88.7 (-3.8%) crushes BP, Shell, and the energy complex — FTSE's largest sector by weight. Failure here risks a slide to 10,300.
