4 March 2026

The market recorded its worst day in almost a year yesterday with the FTSE 100 Index dropping 295.98 points to 10,484.13.  Although it has rallied to over 10,540 this morning, it would not take much to see the selling resume.  After all, the decline in the market has only seen the Index fall by less than 4% and taken it back to the same level as mid-February before the latest actions in the Middle East.  Most market falls are not in a straight line being interspersed with rallies along the way.  We remain cautious.
