FTSE 100 Smashes 10,000 as AI Bubble Talk Returns to Markets in 2026

London’s FTSE 100 rose above 10,000 points for the first time on Friday, hitting an intraday high of 10,046.3 as markets reopened after the New Year holiday, a PA Media/dpa report carried by Bernama said.

The milestone lands as investors try to gauge whether the rally that carried through 2025 can broaden in 2026, or whether price gains are running ahead of the economy.

Pentagon awards Lockheed $328.5 million Taiwan IRST pod contract as China drills keep island on alert

The Pentagon awarded Lockheed Martin a ceiling $328.5 million undefinitized letter contract — a preliminary deal that lets work begin before final terms are set — for fixed-wing sensor hardware for Taiwan, a U.S. government contracts notice said. The award covers 55 Infrared Search and Track Legion Enhanced Sensor pods, which can detect aircraft by heat, plus related equipment under the Foreign Military Sales program, the U.S. government’s channel for selling weapons to partners. The notice said $157.3 million in FMS funds were obligated at award, work will be performed in Orlando, Florida, and the project is expected to run through June 30, 2031; it described the deal as a sole-source acquisition. U.S. Department of War Taiwan remained on high alert after China staged “Justice Mission 2025” drills around the island, keeping its emergency response centres running as it monitored Chinese naval manoeuvres, Taiwan’s coast guard said. Taiwan’s defence ministry said 77 Chinese military aircraft and 25 navy and coast guard vessels had been operating around the island in the past 24 hours.

Boeing’s $2.04 billion B-52 engine upgrade contract puts Port San Antonio in the spotlight

Boeing has landed a $2.04 billion U.S. Air Force task order to advance the B-52 Commercial Engine Replacement Program, with work planned at Port San Antonio in Texas alongside sites in Oklahoma City, Seattle and Indianapolis. The work is expected to run through May 31, 2033, and begins with about $35.8 million in fiscal 2026 research-and-testing funding, a Defense Department contract notice showed. KSAT The award matters now because it moves the B-52 re-engining effort into hands-on integration and testing after a major design checkpoint, a step needed to keep the bomber fleet viable for decades. The Air Force expects to operate the roughly 75-aircraft B-52 force into 2050, replacing its aging Pratt & Whitney TF33 engines with Rolls-Royce F130 engines as part of the upgrade, according to reports.
