Key insight

+1.0% outperformance vs flat Europe confirms FTSE's defensive/commodity tilt is in favour: Oil at $94.5 and Gold at $4,155 lift energy and miners directly. Break above 10,900 round resistance opens the 2026 high at 11,050.

10,831 holds above the 200-day MA at ~10,650, outperforming DAX (-0.2%) and S&P 500 (-0.3%) on the day; GBP/USD at 1.3247 limits FX drag on the index's large-cap exporters.

Main risk

GBP/USD Strength vs Exporter Earnings

GBP/USD at 1.3247 (+0.4%) compresses USD-denominated revenue for FTSE's mega-cap exporters; sustained move above 1.34 is a headwind.
