The FTSE 100 recovered from early weakness to finish slightly higher on Monday, marking a third consecutive daily gain and outperforming most major global indices. The index benefited from its relatively low exposure to technology stocks, which helped cushion broader market volatility. Sentiment also improved after oil prices eased back from earlier highs, following comments from President Donald Trump suggesting that Iran and Israel were considering an immediate ceasefire, raising hopes of de-escalation in the Middle East. In corporate updates, Tate & Lyle surged after agreeing to a £2.7 billion acquisition by US group Ingredion, which offered 615 pence per share in cash, a significant premium to recent trading levels. Among other movers, British American Tobacco gained around 1.5%, HSBC rose 0.8%, and Shell added 0.4%, helping to support the index into positive territory by the close.
