FTSE 100 Stalls at 10,862.95 as Investors Wait on BOE Signals

The FTSE 100 closed at 10,862.95 on Wednesday, a mere 0.45 points above its previous close of 10,862.50. This change is effectively negligible, rounding to zero.

The index experienced some volatility during the day, dipping as much as 0.3% in the morning session before rising to a brief peak near 0.32%. However, it ultimately faded into the close.

This 'round-trip' pattern suggests that investors are hesitant to take positions on either side of the market, awaiting signals from the Bank of England's policy decisions.
