London’s FTSE 100 is set for a subdued open on Tuesday, with investors digesting the fallout from Asian losses and a weaker US dollar. Sterling edged higher against the dollar, adding pressure on internationally exposed stocks.
Financials and housing under scrutiny
UK banks and homebuilders may see additional volatility as traders reassess rate-cut trajectories. While expectations of global easing support mortgage markets, concerns remain over political instability and trade policy.
Outlook
Market momentum will hinge on domestic inflation readings later in the week. The Bank of England has so far signalled patience, but sterling’s strength could complicate export competitiveness.
