Market Context
London trading opened lower on Wednesday as a higher‑than‑expected rise in UK inflation reinforced expectations of further monetary tightening. The FTSE 100 slipped modestly, while the broader market showed mixed movements. Among UK equities, distribution and services group Bunzl experienced a decline of nearly three percent despite reporting a rise in third‑quarter revenue and maintaining its annual forecast.
In Europe, the Stoxx 600 ended slightly lower amid concerns over civil unrest in France and Italy and high oil prices. The broader market reflected a cautious tone as investors weighed inflation data and geopolitical risks.
