Oil surge shakes FTSE 100 futures after London index’s record February rally

Oil surge shakes FTSE 100 futures after London index’s record February rally

Oil prices surged and stock futures slid on Monday as U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran kept markets focused on Middle East supply risks. Brent crude was up 6.4% at $77.57 a barrel, while FTSE futures fell 0.6%; EuroSTOXX 50 and DAX futures also dropped. Rystad Energy’s Jorge Leon flagged an “effective halt” in Hormuz traffic, and Wood Mackenzie’s Alan Gelder pointed to the “nearest historical analogue” of the 1970s oil embargo. Britain’s FTSE 100, a gauge of the biggest companies listed in London, ended Friday at 10,910.55 for a third straight record close. It rose 6.7% in February, its eighth monthly climb in a row, as miners and other defensive names outpaced banks and domestically focused shares. Barclays fell on worries over its exposure to collapsed mortgage lender Market Financial Solutions, a reminder that credit headlines can still cut through the rally.
