FTSE 100 Index slips as UK bond yields surge and HSBC earnings miss

The FTSE 100 fell for four consecutive days, sliding to 10,225 from its year-to-date high of 10,935 as UK government bond yields surged. HSBC’s weak financial report added to the pressure, reinforcing a risk-off tone across UK equities. The move implies roughly a 6.5% drop from the peak and points to a broader market repricing driven by higher yields and weaker bank results.
