UK Stock Market Today: FTSE 100 Rebounds as Diageo, Miners and Banks Lead Early Rally

UK shares climbed Wednesday, with the FTSE 100 snapping higher as money moved into miners, banks and Diageo following a dip in oil and fresh optimism for a U.S.-Iran agreement. The blue-chip index hovered near 10,387, up roughly 1.6%. The FTSE 250 added 1.0%. This comes just after a tough Tuesday session. The FTSE 100 slid 1.4% to 10,219.1—marking its steepest single-day decline since late March. HSBC’s unexpected loss put pressure on bank shares, and renewed inflation concerns surfaced on the back of climbing energy prices.

Exxon, TotalEnergies face fresh output risk as Iran war squeezes Hormuz — and oil stocks react

Exxon Mobil, TotalEnergies, and Shell are looking at increased threats to their oil and gas production, with analysts pointing to the U.S.-Israel conflict with Iran as fields go offline and shipping routes get squeezed. Still, the sector finds support from climbing prices. The big concern right now: the Strait of Hormuz. Tankers packed with crude, fuel, and LNG squeeze through this narrow passage between Iran and Oman to get out of the Gulf. If shipping stalls here, supplies dwindle quickly and buyers end up paying higher prices.

Shell keeps $3.5bn buyback despite Q4 profit slide — and debt jumps to $45.7bn

Shell announced on Thursday a new $3.5 billion share buyback and raised its dividend, despite a drop in profit that missed expectations in the final quarter of 2025. This shift is significant since investors long viewed buybacks as the oil sector’s go-to way to deploy cash, despite sliding crude prices and shrinking earnings. Now, the key issue is how long Shell can maintain steady returns without its leverage inching higher.

Oil Price Rebound as OPEC Freezes Output Hikes: Winners, Losers, and 2026 Outlook

The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies took a pivotal turn in policy at a meeting on Sunday, Nov 2. Led by Saudi Arabia and Russia, a core group of eight OPEC+ producers agreed to “nudge” oil output up slightly in December but then freeze any further production increases in January, February and March 2026theguardian.com. This decision marks a notable shift: throughout 2025, OPEC+ had been gradually unwinding its earlier production cuts – adding nearly 2.9 million barrels per day since April – in an effort to regain market share after a period of curtailed outputinvesting.com. Now, with global demand growth looking fragile and supply starting to outpace consumption, the cartel has opted to hit pause on its supply ramp-up. The official statement cited concerns about a looming oversupply in early 2026, when fuel demand is typically at its seasonal low point in the January-March quarterinvesting.com. In other words, OPEC+ is proactively trying to prevent the market from tipping into a glut. The modest increase of 137,000 barrels per day in December – the same increment as in the previous two months – will be the last for a while, as the group seeks to “moderate its
