The FTSE 100 dropped 0.6% to approximately 8,830, retreating from record highs due to rising tensions in the Middle East, particularly Israel's strikes against Iran. This escalation has led to a global equity market sell-off. Investors are also monitoring US-China trade developments, with President Trump expected to announce tariff rates soon. Major decliners included Barclays (-2.3%), Natwest (-2.2%), and Antofagasta (-2%).
