Today’s trading session has been heavily influenced by a global tech selloff, which has sent ripples through European markets.

Other notable gainers include Babcock International Group (BAB) and Bank of Ireland Group (BIRG), both showing resilience amidst the broader market decline.

The narrative driving today’s market sentiment is largely shaped by the tech sector's struggles, which have raised concerns over broader economic stability. Analysts are closely watching how these developments will affect market dynamics moving forward, especially amid political uncertainties following Starmer's resignation. Will the FTSE 100 find a foothold, or are we in for more turbulence? Keep an eye on the next updates as the session unfolds.
