  • FTSE 100 Futures Rise as UK Inflation Holds and Oil Prices Drop
    March 25, 2026, 3:49 AM EDT. Shares on the FTSE 100 are called higher, with futures up around 55 points following yesterday's 71-point gain. February's UK inflation rate stayed steady at 3.0%, unchanged from January. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) highlighted clothing price rises and falling petrol costs before the Middle East conflict. Economist Nicolas Crittenden warns inflation may rise due to soaring energy prices from the Gulf crisis but expects the Bank of England to hold interest rates in April amid a weakening labour market. Meanwhile, U.S. stocks fell overnight, with the Nasdaq down 0.8%, as geopolitical tensions weigh on markets.
