Does Airtel Money mark the end of London’s listing drought? Not yet | Nils Pratley

Does Airtel Money mark the end of London’s listing drought? Not yet | Nils Pratley

The biggest flotation in five years was a bit of a shoo-in. Let’s see what happens when overseas competition is tougher Indian billionaire’s payments firm plots biggest London flotation in years A win is a win, but we should probably contain our excitement about the biggest flotation in London for five years . Airtel Money, a payments processor that operates in 13 African countries and should be worth between £6bn and £7bn, is a welcome addition to the stock market but it would be a stretch to say the event marks a definitive change in the weather to end the listings drought. Why? Because, in a sense, Airtel Money is already here. It is a 78%-owned subsidiary of Airtel Africa, an established FTSE 100 firm with a market value of £11.3bn ultimately controlled by Bharti Enterprises under the Indian billionaire Sunil Bharti Mittal , also known for his 25% stake in BT.

‘It sits at the meeting point of science and the humanities’: should you study psychology?

‘It sits at the meeting point of science and the humanities’: should you study psychology?

Psychology has become one of the most popular courses at university. That’s no surprise as the insights it gives to our behaviour can help in a huge variety of careers For Niamh Mulcahy, 21, graduating with a psychology degree from the University of Bath has already paid off. After navigating a competitive graduate jobs market this year, she secured a sales role with a FTSE 100 company starting in September. “My degree involved a lot of data analysis, which has been really useful in job applications,” she says. “The course felt very current. We covered everything from neuroscience to forensic psychology, and my dissertation was on ‘incels’. I’ve always been fascinated by human behaviour and why people make the decisions they do.” Continue reading...

Could a Support Breakdown Trigger a Deeper Correction?

Could a Support Breakdown Trigger a Deeper Correction?

FTSE 100 | Could a Support Breakdown Trigger a Deeper Correction? 📉⚠️ Hello everyone and welcome back to all my TradingView followers! 👋📊 I hope you're all doing well and, as always, trading with discipline and proper risk management. Today I’m looking at the FTSE 100 on the Daily timeframe, where price is currently approaching a very important technical decision point amid increasing global macroeconomic and geopolitical risks. 🌍 Fundamental View | Global Markets Under Pressure Global markets have recently shifted back toward a more Risk-Off environment. Higher oil prices, renewed geopolitical tensions, rising bond yields and growing inflation concerns are creating a challenging backdrop for global equities. The FTSE 100 also came under pressure today, falling around 0.6% toward 10,634, as higher oil prices increased inflation concerns and pushed bond yields higher. 🛢️ Strait of Hormuz Risk One of the biggest risks for global markets right now is the potential escalation of military tensions around the Strait of Hormuz. According to today's reports, commercial shipping through Hormuz has fallen dramatically, with only four commodity vessels transiting the waterway on Monday versus an estimated pre-war average of around 125 daily transits. Traffic through Bab el-Mandeb has also declined. If military tensions escalate again and shipping disruptions intensify, the market could face the following chain reaction: Geopolitical Escalation → Higher Oil → Higher Inflation → Higher Yields → Lower Risk Appetite 📉 That could create additional pressure on global equities. The FTSE 100 does have relatively high exposure to energy and commodity companies, which can provide some protection when oil prices rise. However, if higher energy prices translate into persistent inflation and tighter monetary policy, that support could become less effective. 📊 Technical Analysis | FTSE 100 Daily Technically, the current structure is very interesting. 👀 Price is currently trading around 10,650, right near the key support area. 🟡 First Support: 10,574 This level is currently very important. Below it, the next major support zone is: 🟡 10,166 – 10,002 This area could become the next potential downside target if the current support fails. 🐻 Bearish Scenario Price has already weakened below the rising trendline that supported the previous bullish structure. If: 10,574 → breaks and the daily candle confirms the breakdown below this level, the probability of a deeper correction increases significantly. 📉 The next potential targets would be: 🎯 10,166 followed by: 🎯 10,002 So the potential bearish path would be: 10,574 → 10,166 → 10,002 If geopolitical tensions intensify further and global risk appetite deteriorates, even lower support levels could eventually become relevant. 🐂 Bullish Scenario The bullish scenario is not invalidated yet. The major resistance on the chart is around: 🔴 10,887 If buyers defend the current support, reclaim the rising trendline and eventually break above 10,887, the current bearish structure could be invalidated. In that case: Breakout → Retest → Confirmation would provide a much stronger setup for bullish continuation. 🟢📈 For now, I would rather wait for confirmation than try to predict the next major move. 🧠 Final View In my opinion, the FTSE 100 is currently sitting at a very important decision point. The market is dealing with: 🛢️ Higher oil prices ⚔️ Renewed Middle East military risks 🚢 Disruption around strategic shipping routes 📈 Higher bond yields 🔥 Inflation concerns 📉 Lower global risk appetite Recent reports also show that escalating regional tensions and disruptions to energy routes are weighing on investor sentiment. At the same time, the FTSE 100 has not yet confirmed a decisive breakdown below 10,574. Therefore, this is the key level I am watching: 🔴 Break and daily confirmation below 10,574 → Higher probability of a correction toward 10,166 and 10,002. 🟢 Support holds → Potential recovery toward 10,887. If geopolitical risks intensify and oil prices surge again, the probability of a deeper correction should not be underestimated. ⚠️ For now, I consider the support breakdown more important than trying to predict the direction in advance. 🗳️ What is your view? Where do you think the FTSE 100 is heading next? 🤔 🟢 Bullish: Support holds and price moves back toward 10,887. 🔴 Bearish: 10,574 breaks and the index moves toward 10,166–10,002. 🟡 Neutral: More consolidation before the next major move.

FTSE’s Energy Strength Masks a Weaker Picture

FTSE’s Energy Strength Masks a Weaker Picture

The FTSE 100 has come under pressure over the past couple of weeks, but the headline index only tells part of the story. Strength in heavyweight energy stocks has provided an important cushion while weakness has spread across much of the wider market. That makes the recent deterioration in the FTSE's short-term structure worth watching. With UK employment and inflation data due ahead of Thursday's Bank of England decision, this week should provide a useful test of whether the wider market can start to rebound. Short-term structure starts to weaken The change on the daily chart is subtle but increasingly difficult to ignore. After forming another lower swing high beneath the summer peak, the FTSE slipped below the rising trendline from the March low, the 50-day moving average and an area that had previously provided support. None of those developments needs to be treated as a reversal signal in isolation. Together, though, they suggest the sequence of higher lows that carried the index through much of the summer has been interrupted. FTSE 100 Daily Candle Chart https://www.tradingview.com/x/0LVlvGnl/ Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results The longer-term picture remains firmer. The 200-day moving average continues to rise beneath the market, so for now the weakness is better viewed as deterioration in the shorter-term structure rather than a broader change in trend. What would repair the picture? The four-hour chart gives us a clearer framework. Buyers responded once the sell-off reached the lower part of the recent range, but price is now moving back towards an area that previously provided support. Reclaiming that area and beginning to hold above it would make the recent weakness less significant. Beyond there, the Anchored VWAP from the July high provides another useful reference for judging whether the shorter-term character of the market is improving. FTSE 100 Four-Hour Candle Chart https://www.tradingview.com/x/PGWqeR7t/ Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results If the recovery struggles around former support and starts to weaken again, the lower highs visible on the daily chart become harder to dismiss. A stronger index than market The one-week heatmap helps explain why the headline FTSE has held up as well as it has. BP and Shell have been among the stronger large-cap performers as oil prices have risen, providing meaningful support to the index because of their size. Away from energy, the picture is much weaker. Pressure has spread across several areas of the market, including healthcare, industrials and mining, with a number of heavyweight constituents also moving lower. FTSE 100 One-Week Heatmap https://www.tradingview.com/x/zXtYGsjR/ Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results There is an awkward twist to that energy strength. The same rise in oil supporting BP and Shell is also adding to the inflation concerns that have pushed expectations for future UK interest-rate rises higher. A hold from the Bank of England on Thursday remains widely expected, making the voting split and the Bank's assessment of the inflation backdrop particularly important. Employment and inflation data beforehand should add another layer to that debate. Rather than trying to predict the reaction, there are two things worth watching. If the FTSE can recover the short-term structure it has recently lost while strength begins to spread beyond energy, the recent weakness becomes easier to dismiss. If the index struggles and its resilience continues to depend heavily on a handful of oil majors, the weaker picture beneath the surface deserves more attention.
