FTSE 100 Rises 0.3% at Open Amid BoE Hike Uncertainty

The FTSE 100 rose by 0.3% at the open on August 6, 2026, despite uncertainty surrounding a potential Bank of England interest rate hike.

Despite this uncertainty, London pushed past 10,918, with Paris leading the way in Europe, up 0.7%. Frankfurt, however, remained relatively flat, showing a -0.04% change.

The next signal from the Bank of England will likely decide whether this split holds between London and the other European markets.
