  • FTSE 100 just smashed through 10,000 for the first time ever after a 22% surge in 2025, beating both the Stoxx 600 and S&P 500.

  • The rally was all about banks and miners, who led the charge during the index’s best year since 2009.

  • European stocks also kicked off the new year strong, with the Stoxx 600 hitting all-time highs; tech and commodity names are stealing the spotlight.

  • Sterling’s hanging just below recent highs at $1.3447, barely moving against either the dollar or euro.
