The FTSE 100 dropped 94 points, or 0.9%, to 10,673 in early Tuesday trading, reversing Monday’s gains as selling pressure weighed on London’s leading shares. @HSBC remained a key source of weakness, with its shares falling following third-quarter results that showed a 32% increase in pre-tax profit but fell short of market expectations. The banking giant’s disappointing share price reaction added pressure to the wider financial sector, contributing to the FTSE 100’s decline despite the company’s announcement of a further $1 billion share buyback. The FTSE 250 also moved lower, slipping 46 points to 24,455, indicating that weakness extended beyond London’s largest companies. 📑 share-talk.com/ftse-100-fall…
