The FTSE 100 edged lower on Monday, heading toward a third consecutive session of declines as markets assessed the impact of UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s resignation. Starmer will remain in office until a successor is chosen, pledging to ensure an orderly transition, with a new leader expected by September. The move has increased focus on Andy Burnham’s potential leadership bid and the policies he may pursue if he replaces Starmer, while other candidates could compete during the summer. Homebuilders came under pressure, partly due to concerns over possible changes in housing policy, as Burnham has previously argued for greater government involvement in the sector. Barratt Redrow, Taylor Wimpey and Persimmon shares all fell around 2%. Among major index stocks, Unilever declined 0.9%, Rolls-Royce dropped 1.2% and BAE Systems lost 1.3%. In contrast, energy majors gained, with Shell rising 0.8% and BP adding 0.4%.
