Key insight

10,750 resistance rejected again — FTSE's heavy energy/mining mix benefits from Oil at $98 but GBP strength at 1.3307 erodes overseas earnings. Break above 10,750 needed to confirm next leg; failure risks retest of 10,550 50-day MA.

Stalling at 10,722 — FTSE lags Wall Street's fresh highs as European peers slip; GBP/USD 1.3307 caps export earnings while Oil at $98.3 lifts energy sector.

Main risk

GBP/USD strength at 1.3307

GBP near 1.3307 compresses dollar-denominated revenues for FTSE's dominant multinationals; sustained above 1.33 is a structural earnings headwind.
