5 February 2026
We mentioned yesterday that the FTSE 100 had moved above 10,450 and that we were cautious on further progress. Although the Index reached a high of 10,481.54 during the day, this level was not sustained with the Index closing at 10,402.34. Further profit taking this morning has seen the Index fall to 10,360 and we would not be surprised to see further losses. The scandal surrounding Peter Mandelson is looking increasingly serious for the government and there could well be some political fallout from this. The Bank of England looks set to leave interest rates unchanged today which is little surprise.
