Central bank focus today
Today, attention around UK equities such as Intertek turns to a pivotal week for global central banks, with investors assessing how upcoming monetary policy decisions and guidance could affect risk sentiment and valuation levels in the FTSE 100.Reuters A more cautious or restrictive tone from central banks can weigh on economically sensitive sectors, while a supportive stance may help sustain demand for UK large-cap stocks, including testing and certification businesses.
