FTSE 100 Set for Bounce After Four-Day Losing Streak

The UK stock market is expected to bounce back on Friday, August 14, 2026, after four consecutive days of losses. The FTSE 100 index fell by 0.6% to 10,772.67 in the previous session.

However, with record highs seen on Wall Street due to unexpectedly low US inflation numbers, investor sentiment has improved overnight.

The FTSE 100 futures are pointing to a starting increase of 33 points to 10,806.47, indicating a possible 0.3% gain for the day.
