    April 24, 2026, 4:15 AM EDT. The FTSE 100 index dipped to £10,365 following US-Iran tensions and a strong UK consumer inflation report showing 3.3% growth in March.

Major banks including Barclays, Lloyds, NatWest, Standard Chartered, and HSBC will release earnings, with Barclays expected to benefit from rising dealmaking and trading volumes. BP, buoyed by climbing crude oil prices and new CEO Meg O'Neill's strategy, also draws attention. Healthcare giants AstraZeneca and GlaxoSmithKline face potential share price retreats amid mixed earnings forecasts. Travel stocks such as IAG, Rolls-Royce, and EasyJet will come under scrutiny as market volatility persists.
