FTSE 100 Rebounds in Afternoon Trading

The FTSE 100 moved higher on Monday, outperforming European peers as banks and commodity-related stocks supported gains while investors continued to assess the implications of UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s resignation. The development has increased attention on Andy Burnham’s potential leadership bid and the policy direction he could pursue if chosen. Banking stocks led advances, with HSBC up 0.9% and Lloyds Banking Group, Barclays, NatWest and Standard Chartered all rising by nearly 2%. Energy majors also gained, with Shell up 0.6% and BP trading higher. Mining stocks added to the positive tone, with Rio Tinto up 0.8%, Glencore, Anglo American and Antofagasta rising around 1%, and Fresnillo climbing 2.1%. EasyJet gained more than 2% after rejecting multiple Castlelake offers, prompting the investor to take its £4.74 billion bid directly to shareholders. In contrast, Babcock fell 5% after reporting a drop in pretax profit.
