The FTSE 100 is expected to open 33 points lower after a strong start to the week, as investor appetite for risk moderates. Monday's rally—driven by US-China trade relief and strong gains in mining and tech stocks—is giving way to a more cautious tone.
In today’s episode, we recap Monday’s standout performers, including Raspberry Pi and Standard Chartered, and look at what’s driving the pullback. Plus: why defensive sectors may catch a bid, and what’s next for commodities, gold, and sterling as global markets digest the truce terms.
