• Oil rises and global stocks wobble amid worries over ‘fragile’ ceasefire deal in Middle East – business live

Contesto

European stock markets opened lower, tracking declines in Asia as the optimism from yesterday's rally faded. The UK's FTSE 100 slipped 0.1%, Germany's Dax dropped 0.6%, while France's Cac 40 and Italy's FTSE MIB fell 0.3% and 0.2% respectively. Despite a tough start to the year for equities, the broader perspective shows resilience. The S&P 500 has rallied over 7% from its late March low and is now down less than 1% year-to-date, underscoring that long-term stock prices are driven by earnings power, not just geopolitical headlines. Brent crude oil prices recovered sharply, rising nearly 2% to around $97 per barrel following further Israeli strikes on Lebanon. Analysts warn prices will likely remain elevated and volatile until a more permanent regional agreement is reached. The UK housing market's cautiously improving activity has been derailed by the conflict's macroeconomic fallout. A renewed deterioration in the mortgage rate outlook, linked to the instability, has presented a significant challenge to the sector's recovery.
