The UK 100 is called to open -80 points at at 10,288. The UK 100 looks set to follow other global markets lower this morning,
An exchange of fire from Iran and Israel has left markets returning from the weekend with little hope a fully-fledged peace deal with the US could be on the horizon. The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) said it had fired strikes at military targets in western and central Iran, though did not provide details on the scale of damage or exact locations. The strikes came after the Israeli military intercepted strikes from Iran, which came after its own strikes against Beirut.
Donald Trump had urged Israel not to respond to the Iranian strike, telling international media outlets: “The Iranian strikes didn’t hurt anybody”. The President added: “Each of them had their fun. Israel had its strike and Iran had its strike. We don’t need another one.”
Trump gave an interview over the weekend where he once again insisted Washington and Tehran were “very close” to signing a lasting peace deal.
He said there was “a couple of points” of disagreement that “don’t even seem like big points” with the President claiming Iran had already agreed to a clause that it won’t develop nuclear weapons. Trump is understood to also have made it clear he wants Tehran to forgo the right to acquire such weapons otherwise.
On Friday, the Nasdaq fell 4.18% to 25,709.43 — its biggest drop since April 2025. The S&P sank 2.64% to close at 7,383.74, and the Dow lost 695 points to end the week at 50,866.78, a day after hitting a new high. For the week, the S&P dropped more than 2%, the Nasdaq fell 4.7%, and the Dow edged lower. The slide on Friday followed a stronger-than-expected May jobs report that lifted Treasury yields and intensified worries that higher financing costs could weigh on companies investing heavily in AI expansion.
Asia-Pacific markets fell Monday, with South Korea’s benchmark Kospi leading declines, falling more than 8% before paring losses to trade 4% lower. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index slid 1.8%, while mainland China’s CSI 300 was down 1.6%. Japan’s Nikkei 225 fell 3.7%.
Tate & Lyle has agreed to a £2.7 billion ($3.60 billion) offer from U.S. rival Ingredion, the companies said on Monday, creating a food and beverage ingredients major.
