Macro Drivers

Bank of England Rate Policy — BOE holds amid sticky inflation; no cut priced near-term, keeping rate-sensitive stocks capped.

GBP/USD Exchange Rate — 1.3535 is a multi-month high — compresses USD-denominated revenues for FTSE's global earners.

Gold & Commodities Complex — Gold at $4,372 (+0.5%) lifts miners; silver at $64.7 adds. Energy flat at $81.6 offers no drag.

US Equity Stability — S&P 500 flat at 7,780 signals no risk-off shock; global risk appetite remains constructive.

Eurozone Peer Performance — DAX flat at 26,442, CAC -0.1% — no European catalyst driving relative rotation into FTSE.
