It’s been a day that started largely in the red and has continued that way.
Stocks recovered some of their earlier losses in the afternoon as the global mood brightened, with a lift from banking shares after NatWest’s guidance raise, but the FTSE 100 still closed lower for the first day in seven.
Gilt yields also fell back from the day’s highs, though remained more elevated than European peers.
