Blue chips edge higher amid gains on Wall Street
London's FTSE 100 posted modest gains on Tuesday as US markets rose after encouraging US jobs data, helping offset weak mining stocks and lower growth forecasts from the OECD. The FTSE 100 index closed up 12.76 points, 0.2%, at 8,787.02. The FTSE 250 ended down 11.19 points, 0.1%, at 21,017.78, and the AIM All-Share closed up 5.38 points, 0.7%, at 753.51. In London, mining stocks eased after figures from S&P Global showed China's manufacturing activity contracted in May, contrasting with expectations. The Caixin China general manufacturing purchasing managers' index fell to 48.3 in May, down from 50.4 in April and below the FXStreet-cited consensus forecast of 50.6. Stephen Innes at SPI Asset Management said the data 'isn't just a weak print – it's a body blow to the backbone of China's economy.' He noted small and mid-sized exporters are now caught in a 'brutal vice grip' between 'faltering global demand and a Washington-led tariff regime that's more carrot-and-stick diplomacy than ceasefire'. But Duncan Wrigley at Pantheon Macroeconomics does not expect a 'knee-jerk' reaction from Chinese policymakers. 'We think additional targeted support is likely, but a mega stimulus won't be needed,' he said. Rio Tinto, also hit by a downgrade to 'hold' by Jefferies, fell 1.2%, Anglo American eased 1.8% and Antofagasta slipped 0.6%. In European equities on Tuesday, the CAC 40 in Paris rose 0.3%, while the DAX 40 in Frankfurt firmed 0.7%. UK economic forecasts have been downgraded for the next two years as trade tensions linked to US President Donald Trump's tariff plans hit the global economy, according to a report. The Organisation of Economic Co-operation & Development also cut its projections for global growth in 2025 and 2026. Economists from the organisation cautioned that the global outlook is 'becoming increasingly challenging'. After 3.3% growth last year, the world economy is now expected to expand by a 'modest' 2.9% in 2025 and 2026, the Paris-based OECD said. In its previous report in March, the OECD had forecast growth of 3.1% for 2025 and 3.0% for 2026. In the UK, the economy is expected to grow by 1.3% this year, with the OECD cutting its previous forecast of 1.4%. It also reduced its prediction for 2026 from 1.2% in its March report to 1%, blaming the cuts to forecasts on 'heightened trade tensions, tighter financial conditions, and elevated uncertainty'. The US economy is now expected to grow by just 1.6% this year, down from 2.2% in the previous outlook, and slow further to 1.5% in 2026, the OECD said. Europe will also be severely impacted by the trade war, with sharp downgrades across the board and the euro area as a whole now set to see growth of just 1% in 2025, down from 1.3% previously forecast, the OECD said. Investors also weighed eurozone inflation data. Inflation in the eurozone eased to 1.9% in May, falling below the European Central Bank's 2% target for the first time since September, figures on Tuesday showed. According to a flash estimate from Eurostat, annual consumer price inflation is estimated to have been 1.9% in May, down from 2.2% in April. The deceleration, mainly driven by slower growth in services prices and ongoing energy deflation, came below the 2.0% FXStreet-cited market consensus. Prices for services rose 3.2% annually in May, slowing from 4.0% in April. Energy prices continued to fall, down 3.6% year-on-year for a second consecutive month. However, food, alcohol and tobacco prices rose 3.3%, accelerating from 3.0% the previous month. Core inflation, which excludes energy, unprocessed food, alcohol and tobacco, eased to 2.3% in May from 2.7% in April. On Thursday, the ECB announces its interest rate decision, with markets widely expecting a 25 basis point cut. The pound was quoted down at 1.3499 dollars late on Tuesday afternoon in London, compared with 1.3546 dollars at the equities close on Monday. The euro stood lower at 1.1385 dollars against 1.1429 dollars. Against the yen, the dollar was trading higher at 143.24 yen compared with 142.75 yen. The yield on the US 10-year Treasury was steady at 4.46% on Tuesday. The yield on the US 30-year Treasury narrowed to 4.97% from 5.00%. In New York, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 0.4% at the time of the London equities close on Tuesday. The S&P 500 was also 0.4% higher and the Nasdaq Composite rose 0.7%. US job openings unexpectedly rose in April, indicating demand for workers remains healthy despite heightened economic uncertainty, a report on Tuesday showed. Available positions increased to 7.39 million from a revised 7.20 million reading in March, according to Bureau of Labour Statistics data. The median estimate in a Bloomberg survey of economists called for 7.10 million openings. Wells Fargo said the report shows labour demand is 'far from collapsing in the wake of policy uncertainty, but the modest gain still leaves openings declining on trend'. But Samuel Tombs at Pantheon Macroeconomics suggested the report is an 'aberration', given the ongoing decline in Indeed's measure of postings throughout April and May, as well as the drop in the hiring intentions indexes of the regional Fed surveys. In London, housebuilders fell back after a profit warning from MJ Gleeson. The Sheffield, England-based housebuilder warned that annual operating profit will be below market expectations, reflecting lower gross margin at Gleeson Homes and fewer land sales than hoped. MJ Gleeson said it expects operating profit at Gleeson Homes for the financial year ending June 30 to be around 15% to 20% below current expectations. RBC Capital Markets said Visible Alpha consensus for operating profit at Gleeson Homes is £28.1 million. MJ Gleeson slumped 22%, while housebuilding peer Persimmon fell 2.0%, Vistry fell 6.2% and Taylor Wimpey fell 1.9%. GSK fell 2.1% after Berenberg downgraded the pharmaceuticals firm to 'buy' from 'hold', while Pearson slipped 6.6% after a weak update from IDP Education, the owner of the IELTS language test in Australia. IDP warned of a sharp fall in testing volumes owing to tighter immigration policies in its key markets. Pearson counts English Language Learning among its five divisions and competes with IDP in that sector. IDP notably said the UK is facing 'heightened uncertainty' following the recent immigration white paper published in the country. The price of gold fell to 3,349.93 dollars an ounce on Tuesday against 3,371.47 dollars on Monday. Brent oil was higher at 65.73 dollars a barrel at the time of the London equities close on Tuesday, compared with 64.58 dollars on Monday. The biggest risers on the FTSE 100 were Centrica, up 6.8 pence at 164.0p, Airtel Africa, up 5.6p at 183.4p, Rolls-Royce, up 25.4p at 894.2p, Melrose Industries, up 12.6p at 473.5p and Ashtead Group, up 107.0p at 4,265.0p. The biggest fallers on the FTSE 100 were Pearson, down 77.0p at 1,085.5p, Rentokil Initial, down 12.3p at 350.9p, Severn Trent, down 67.0p at 2,655.0p, Haleon, down 9.3p at 405.1p, and GSK, down 32.0p at 1,485.0p.

Quietly Burning Out? What To Do When Your Leadership Starts Lacking
Post by Dr Katie Best, Visiting Fellow at the Department of Management at LSE, Head Tutor on MBA Essentials and Chief Examiner on Core Management Concepts. Dr Best is the author of upcoming book, The Ten Toughest Leadership Problems (and How to Solve Them) (August 2025), and Leadership Coach and Consultant at KatieBest Associates. Today's most committed leaders are often deeply helpful, hyper-responsible, and always ready to step ... More up. But that very strength can become a trap Most leaders don't realise they're burnt out—because they're still high-functioning. They're answering emails, running meetings, and hitting deadlines. But under the surface, their energy, creativity, and confidence are quietly eroding. I used to think burnout looked like someone who's at home, signed off work with stress. But I've realised more recently that burnout doesn't just live its life away from work, it lives its life at the office, sending one more email, making another tough decision, and keeping going, seemingly endlessly — surviving, but certainly not thriving. This might sound at odds with how we typically imagine burnout, but it's entirely in line with the go-to definition from the World Health Organization: a state of chronic workplace stress that hasn't been successfully managed, marked by exhaustion, cynicism, and reduced effectiveness. In my upcoming book The Ten Toughest Leadership Problems (and How to Solve Them), I talk about how overloaded leaders often try to fix burnout with better productivity tools — when the real solution lies in changing the way they lead. Whether that means delegating, narrowing focus, or letting go of unrealistic expectations, the shift has to be strategic, not reactive. Today's most committed leaders are often deeply helpful, hyper-responsible, and always ready to step up. But that very strength can become a trap—keeping them constantly on alert, always anticipating the next high-stakes decision or crisis, unable to switch off. The problem? When we're depleted, we often can't see it. We normalize the stress—tell ourselves this is just what leadership looks like. Or if we do notice we're struggling, we deny it. Surely a good night's sleep or a productivity hack will fix it? But when you're at this point, it's not just a time management issue. Rather, it's a role design issue, a personal standards issue, or others' expectations being unrealistic. And depending on which of those it is, you need a plan to help you fix it. When the workload inherent to the job is too great, it's time to look at what needs taking away. If you are doing work meant for two people, or in a job that assumes 60 hours a week from the outset, something needs to change. If the load is genuinely unmanageable, you should consider solutions such as redistributing tasks, hiring support, or renegotiating deliverables. Share the problem with others, such as HR, your seniors and peers, so that work can be started on what must be done. If you're setting your own standards too high, it's time to choose what you can afford to drop. I call this 'strategic failure'. By that, I mean that high-functioning leaders are clear on what they're willing to fail at or let slide in order to protect what matters most. Make peace with strategic failure with the unimportant things to protect success in the critical ones. Also: work isn't everything. People who reach the end of their lives and are asked their regrets don't typically (if ever) say, 'well, I just wish I'd worked harder. I didn't achieve inbox zero enough of the time.' When others expect too much, it's time to reset the narrative. That might mean clearer boundaries, more transparent capacity-setting, or simply letting others see that you're human—not a machine. The strongest leaders don't absorb every ask—they model sustainable performance for their teams. Resetting your leadership energy starts with recognising that you're not lazy, disorganised, or underperforming — you're overloaded. And the solution isn't to 'power through.' It's to make strategic choices about what gets your time, your energy, and your attention. The ultimate consequences of burnout can be serious – if a leader fails to spot a critical error, loses a key client, or makes a bad financial decision, burnout starts to have significant and far-reaching consequences. And this is without considering the serious health risks which burnout, left untreated, can bring. The strongest leaders aren't the ones who absorb it all. They're the ones who lead differently — who model focus, clarity, and enough space to think. Not just for themselves, but for the people who are watching. Follow Dr Katie Best on LinkedIn.
