The FTSE 100 fell 0.5% on Thursday, snapping a three session winning streak as concerns grew over a potential escalation in the Middle East conflict following President Donald Trump’s address, which offered no clear timeline for resolution and pointed to more aggressive action in the coming weeks, including possible strikes on infrastructure.

Mining stocks led losses with Fresnillo and Endeavour down around 6%, while Antofagasta, Anglo American and Rio Tinto also declined sharply. Banks came under pressure, with HSBC, Standard Chartered and Barclays falling about 2% and Lloyds down 1.5% as it reviewed the impact of a motor finance redress scheme. The index was partly supported by its heavy exposure to energy, with Shell and BP gaining on higher oil prices. Elsewhere, B&M rose more than 5% after a rating upgrade, while broader moves reflected ongoing volatility in commodity markets.
