  • FTSE 100 slips as utilities fall on Reeves' comments, Iran Strait disruption weighs on oil
    April 17, 2026, 6:20 AM EDT. The FTSE 100 dipped 13 points to 10,577, pressured by a slump in utilities shares including SSE and Centrica after UK Chancellor Reeves' remarks. Workspace shares plummeted 15% following a profit warning. Oil prices retreated amid hopes of a ceasefire, but market bets suggest the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping lane for 20% of global oil trade, will remain disrupted well into summer.

Separately, ITM Power surged over 35% after partnering on a defence e-fuels project, while Premier African Minerals gained 17% on lithium project progress. Optima Health and Quantum Helium also saw share rises following strong financial results and fundraising news respectively.
