The FTSE 100 was little changed on Wednesday, stabilising after this week's tariff driven selloff as market volatility eased and investors digested fresh inflation data.
UK inflation rose more than expected to 3.4%, while core CPI was in line and services inflation increased less than forecast, offering mixed signals for policy expectations.
Banks weighed on the index, with HSBC , Barclays, Lloyds, NatWest and Standard Chartered all falling, alongside declines in AstraZeneca, RELX , Rolls Royce and BAE Systems. Losses were partly offset by strength in miners and precious metals stocks, with Endeavour Mining, Rio Tinto, Anglo American, Antofagasta and Glencore rising on firmer metals prices.
Among individual movers, Burberry climbed more than 4% after third quarter sales beat expectations.
JD Sports also advanced nearly 2% after saying profits are set to meet estimates.
In contrast, Experian dropped almost 5% despite beating revenue forecasts.
