The FTSE 100 traded in a tight range Monday morning as investors stayed on the sidelines amid uncertainty over U.S.-Iran peace moves after the two countries exchanged fire over the weekend. The move reflects a cautious, risk-off stance rather than a fundamental shift in UK market conditions. Near-term market impact appears limited unless geopolitical tensions escalate further.
