FTSE 100 fell 94 points to 10,415 as oil dropped after Trump and Iran signed a ceasefire, easing geopolitical risk. The US Fed signalled possible rate hikes ahead, reinforcing a hawkish policy backdrop, while UK unemployment held at 4.9%. The mix of lower oil, tighter policy expectations, and a modest equity selloff points to a risk-off market tone.
