Key insight

10,580 is the line in the sand: a close above 10,620 opens 10,780 (2026 high); a drop below 10,400 (200-day MA) flips the trend bearish. Gold at $4,195 (+1.5%) supports FTSE's commodity-heavy miners but USD/JPY at 158 flags lingering risk-off pressure.

10,581 holds above the 200-day MA near 10,400 but stalls 200pts below the 2026 high at 10,780 — no directional conviction until one of those levels breaks.

Main risk

GBP/USD squeeze & BoE policy pivot

GBP/USD at 1.3240 squeezes FTSE exporters; any BoE rate-cut delay on sticky UK CPI hits rate-sensitive domestics hard.
