    March 25, 2026, 1:08 PM EDT. London's FTSE 100 rose 1.42% on Wednesday, fueled by steady UK inflation data ahead of the US-Iran conflict. Annual inflation held at 3% in February, meeting expectations, while core inflation slightly increased to 3.2%. Berenberg noted that heightened oil and gas prices from the conflict could push inflation up to 3.4% in March before easing. The Bank of England is expected to hold interest rates, possibly cutting later this year. Separately, the UK, EU, and Switzerland announced a plan for a one-day settlement cycle by October 2027, involving Barclays and other market players.
