UK Markets Today: FTSE 100 Hits New High as Rate‑Cut Bets Build; Vodafone Lifts Dividend for First Time in 7 Years; SoftBank Exits Nvidia; ‘Little‑Known’ Tech Giant RELX in the Spotlight (11 Nov 2025)

London stocks pushed to new highs on Tuesday, extending Monday’s record close, as investors priced in a higher chance of a December interest‑rate cut after a softer UK jobs report. The unemployment rate rose to 5.0%, its highest since early 2021, while regular pay growth slowed to 4.6% in the three months to September—data that knocked sterling and lifted rate‑sensitive shares. The FTSE 100 notched another intraday record in early trade after Monday’s all‑time closing high of 9,787, underlining the “bad news is good news” dynamic for risk assets. Reuters+1
