The UK 100 is called to open +30 points at at 10,368. The UK 100 looks set to claw back some losses on Tuesday morning trading, as oil prices simmered down on Donald Trump’s soothing news that Hezbollah and Israel had agreed to “stop shooting” at each other.
London’s blue-chip index has been called around 30 points higher on the futures market after ending the previous session down 70.33 points at 10,338.95.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq rose 0.4%, the S&P 500 added 0.3% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average edged 0.1% higher, marking fresh record highs for all three indices.
Oil prices, which have become the market’s main barometer of Middle East geopolitical risk, eased back this morning after a volatile 24 hours.
Brent crude traded around $94.30 a barrel, down from a brief surge above $97 yesterday when Iran said it was suspending talks with the US unless Israeli attacks on Lebanon and Gaza ceased.
British American Tobacco says revenue and profit will come in towards the bottom end of its guidance for the 2026 financial year as continued declines in traditional cigarette volumes are offset by stronger-than-expected growth in nicotine pouches and vaping products. For its New Categories arm, the tobacco group upgraded its forecast to “mid-teens” percentage revenue growth in both the first half and full year, up from a previous forecast for “low double-digit” growth. For the group overall, BAT maintained its guidance for revenue growth of 3-5%, adjusted profit growth of 4-6% and adjusted diluted earnings per share growth of 5-8% in 2026, though it expects results to come in at the lower end of those ranges. Furthermore, profits growth is expected to be weighted towards the second half of the year.
