Oil surge shakes FTSE 100 futures after London index’s record February rally

Oil surge shakes FTSE 100 futures after London index’s record February rally

Oil prices surged and stock futures slid on Monday as U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran kept markets focused on Middle East supply risks. Brent crude was up 6.4% at $77.57 a barrel, while FTSE futures fell 0.6%; EuroSTOXX 50 and DAX futures also dropped. Rystad Energy’s Jorge Leon flagged an “effective halt” in Hormuz traffic, and Wood Mackenzie’s Alan Gelder pointed to the “nearest historical analogue” of the 1970s oil embargo. Britain’s FTSE 100, a gauge of the biggest companies listed in London, ended Friday at 10,910.55 for a third straight record close. It rose 6.7% in February, its eighth monthly climb in a row, as miners and other defensive names outpaced banks and domestically focused shares. Barclays fell on worries over its exposure to collapsed mortgage lender Market Financial Solutions, a reminder that credit headlines can still cut through the rally.

Oil prices brace for a volatile week after Iran strikes: Hormuz disruption and OPEC+ output move in focus

LONDON, March 1, 2026, 12:16 GMT — The session is over; markets have closed. OPEC+ settled on a plan Sunday to boost oil output by 206,000 barrels a day, despite shipping snarls in the Gulf after Iran warned shipowners that the Strait of Hormuz was off limits. With oil markets closed for the weekend, the real question is whether these additional barrels mean much if tankers are stuck.

  • GPC Jumps 12.9% as O'Reilly Looks to Buy Auto Unit, Market Eyes Industrial Shift
    July 3, 2026, 5:13 AM EDT. Genuine Parts (GPC) shares soared 12.9% to $132.57 after news hit of O'Reilly Automotive's cash bid topping $10 billion for its auto-parts segment.

Even with a big stock surge, analysts left the consensus EPS at $2.10 for next quarter. Revenue is forecast up 3.6% to $6.39 billion from last year. Some say GPC may not hold onto gains unless earnings estimates start to climb. GPC is still rated Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
