HSBC weighs down FTSE 100, budget caution persists

The FTSE 100 fell as HSBC faced challenges, with budget caution continuing. The Autumn Budget 2026 offered £100 payments to households to help navigate economic storms, while landlords faced a second property tax raid. The budget provided breathing space for today with hopes for the future. John Healey presented the Autumn Budget 2026, which included measures to support households and address property taxes. The budget aims to offer temporary relief while planning for future economic challenges.
