24 July 2026

A rise in the oil price yesterday saw it move above $100 once again with a negative effect on the equity market.  The FTSE 100 fell 77.8 points to 10,639.17 in response.  With interest rates being kept unchanged in Europe yesterday the week looks like ending on a quiet note.  For those investors looking for a quick trade we would suggest taking a look at Ocado (180p) as the shares have dropped back over the last few days.
