FTSE 100 drops as oil surge stokes rate fears

UK stocks fell Wednesday as oil’s rally stopped being an easy win for London. Brent prices lifted BP and Shell, but higher oil brought rate fears back. The FTSE 100 had energy names up, but most other shares fell. FTSE 100 lost ground Wednesday, showing the index hasn’t been a safe spot for investors. Still, it’s up 5.62% in 2024 and has gained 18.29% over the last 12 months, so there were profits on the table before the drop. The easy path for UK stocks in June now faces stiffer tests as earnings season arrives in July.

FTSE 100 slides as oil rally can’t lift London shares

London shares dropped on Wednesday, but moves were split. Oil majors held up with higher crude, while most other stocks fell as fuel costs and inflation fears rose, plus a new Middle East worry after U.S. President Donald Trump said the first Iran deal was done. Reuters reported the FTSE 100 off 1.3% to 10,519.17 at 1111 GMT, with the FTSE 250 down 1.7%. Market breadth stood out for investors. Energy was up—it was the only sector in the green earlier. Defence stocks fell the hardest, which doesn’t happen often when markets are moving on Middle East risks. BP gained 3%, Shell added 1.8%. Precious-metals miners dropped 3.6% as gold lost over 1%.

Jet2 warns on summer fuel, reassures UK travellers

Jet2 said Wednesday it plans to run its summer flight schedule as planned and will hold off on fuel surcharges for flights and holidays already booked. The company pointed to reports of boosted fuel production and increased imports from regions outside the Middle East conflict. Jet2 made the statement for customers concerned about jet fuel supplies heading into the peak travel season. European airlines are heading into the summer rush while jet fuel prices are still high. Jet fuel, the main fuel for passenger planes, has doubled from pre-Iran war levels, Reuters reported last week. Flows through the Strait of Hormuz remain disrupted and that’s hitting supply, with airlines and airports trying to reassure travellers.

Jet2 LS190 Emergency: What Happened Before Glasgow Landing After 7700 Alert

Jet2’s LS190 from Palma de Mallorca triggered a Squawk 7700 emergency alert while heading into Glasgow on Monday, drawing emergency crews to the airport ahead of landing. The Boeing 737-800, tail number G-JZBK, touched down safely. According to AIRLIVE, initial indications suggest a passenger medical issue was the cause. Jet2, for now, hasn’t issued an official statement. Why does the alert stand out? Squawk 7700 isn’t just another code—it signals a real emergency. When a pilot switches to this setting, it tells air traffic control there’s a problem onboard, prompting controllers and airport crews to move the flight to the front of the line for help.
