FTSE 100

Key insight

10,676 sits below the 10,700 round-number pivot — a close under this level confirms near-term breakdown bias; reclaim needed to re-engage 10,800 resistance.

Falls -0.59% to 10,676 while DAX +0.9% and CAC +0.8% — FTSE underperforms peers sharply, dragged by GBP/USD stall at 1.3307 and oil slide to $99.7, pressuring energy heavyweights.

Main risk

Oil price at $99.7 (-1.1%)

Brent slide pressures BP, Shell, and FTSE energy sector — combined weight ~12% of index; further drop below $97 accelerates index underperformance.
