FTSE 100
NeutralArchived analysis from Oct 16, 2026, 8:23 PM
Key insight
10,835 sits in no-man's land — 200-day MA near 10,650 underpins, but 11,000 round-number resistance and a stronger pound limit the bull case; Friday close below 10,800 reopens the 10,600 range low.
Holds 10,835 but stalls below 11,000 round resistance; GBP/USD +0.4% to 1.3327 squeezes exporters, capping upside while oil at $99.2 supports energy heavyweights.
Main risk
GBP/USD Strength vs Export Earnings
GBP/USD at 1.3327 (+0.4%) erodes overseas revenue for FTSE's large-cap multinationals; sustained cable strength above 1.33 is a structural headwind to index EPS.
