10 March 2026

The market is rallying today with the oil price falling sharply and the FTSE 100 is up over 135 points at around 10,385 at noon.  However, it is well off its peak today and as we said last week the Index tends not to fall in a straight line and there will be mini-rallies along the way.  Many now feel that interest rates are in danger of going up rather than down as inflation picks up – we remain cautious but do feel that there is value to be had in some smaller company stocks and those that have been badly hit such as housebuilders.
