FTSE 100 closing price 24 July 2026: 10,738 points (+17.72% YoY; 52-week range: 9,028–10,935). Reaching 10,800 requires +0.58% over 4 trading days (28–31 July). Drivers: strong UK earnings cycle (AstraZeneca H1 29 Jul, Shell Q2 30 Jul expected beat, BP Q2 4 Aug); BoE rate pause at 3.75% (30 July, already predicted); oil/commodity stocks (~20% FTSE) could benefit from Iran conflict premium (Brent currently ~$96.78). Headwind: global risk-off sentiment from US-Iran war.
