FTSE 100 Live: UK Stocks Set to Rise, Pound Gains as Tariff Worries Ease
Chancellor Rachel Reeves is set to make her Mansion House speech today, a key moment following a period of tumult for the government which has increased uncertainty around UK assets. Reeves will focus on plans to ease access to mortgages in order to spur home ownership, including a permanent mortgage guarantee scheme and more loans for people on lower incomes, Joe Mayes, Ronan Martin and Leonard Kehnscherper. The measures on mortgages will be announced in Leeds earlier in the day, before she travels to London for the address. In addition to that, the City will be watching for a pathway to international finance firms to set up in London, reforms on the 0.5% stamp duty charged on UK share trading, detail on scrapping the Payment Systems Regulator, information around stablecoin usage and plans on changing bank ring-fencing rules.

The Swedish telecommunications-equipment company said Tuesday that its key networks business posted a 5.3% fall in sales overall in the period, with strong growth in North America and a slight sales increase in Europe, but significant declines in India where the company had lower network investment levels.
