London's primary stock indices showed little change on Monday as a rally in mining and financial stocks balanced significant declines in the industrial and travel sectors. By 1017 GMT on Monday, January 26, 2026, both the FTSE 100 and the FTSE 250 remained largely flat, reflecting a cautious mood among investors following a period of intense geopolitical volatility. While specific threats have eased, the market remains sensitive to the long-term implications of shifting trade policies and global instability.
