Key insight

10,580 sits just above the 50-day MA near 10,540 — a daily close below flips short-term bias bearish and targets the 200-day MA at 10,320. GBP/USD +0.2% at 1.3260 is a mild headwind for exporters.

10,580 holds Q3-end but DAX -0.4% and CAC -0.3% drag; FTSE's energy/mining heavyweights cushioned by oil at $89.9, preventing sharper European-wide selloff.

Main risk

GBP strength vs export earnings

GBP/USD at 1.3260 compresses overseas revenues for FTSE's large-cap multinationals; sustained move above 1.34 materially dents earnings estimates.
