UK stock market today: FTSE 100 slips as upbeat UK data meets rate-cut doubts; Babcock, C&C move

London, Jan 23, 2026, 10:57 GMT — Regular session Britain’s FTSE 100 slipped on Friday, surrendering early gains after a streak of solid finishes as investors balanced stronger UK data against hints the Bank of England could hold off on rate cuts. The blue-chip index dropped 0.13% to 10,136.43, with the mid-cap FTSE 250 down 0.42% at 23,271.99.

FTSE 100 today: Trump drops Greenland tariff threat, but UK inflation muddies BoE cuts

European shares bounced back in early trade Thursday following U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to drop tariff threats over Greenland and dismiss the idea of using force to take the Danish territory. By 0802 GMT, the pan-European STOXX 600 had climbed 1%. After a tough run for risk assets, markets found some relief. The FTSE 100 in London dropped 0.72% Tuesday following President Trump’s threat to slap an extra 10% tariff on imports from eight European nations, Britain included, starting Feb. 1—unless the U.S. gets the green light to buy Greenland. “Geopolitical tensions have dented sentiment,” noted Laura Cooper, senior macro strategist at Nuveen.

  • Tesla (TSLA) Trades Above Industry Averages as Investors Weigh Valuation and Growth Bets
    June 30, 2026, 11:55 PM EDT. Tesla is trading at $420.60, up 91.3% over five years, but some numbers point to a stretched valuation. Its price-to-sales (P/S) ratio sits at 16.1x, well above the industry's 0.6x and peers at 1.4x. A separate fair value model comes in at 3.5x. Simply Wall St gives Tesla zero on its valuation checks, saying the stock doesn't stack up by earnings, assets, or cash flow. Bulls keep faith in Tesla's AI, robotics, and energy plans, supporting the high price, but there are worries about Full Self Driving and regulatory issues.
