Consumer stocks rally drives UK's FTSE 100 to record close

Britain's FTSE 100 clinched a fresh record close on Wednesday with consumer-related stocks leading the gains, while investors digested an inflation report that diminished hopes for a near-term Bank of England rate cut. The blue-chip index FTSE 100 closed 1% higher, breaching the intraday record levels it touched on Friday. Meanwhile, the more domestically focused FTSE midcap index posted a modest rise of 0.2%. Both the benchmark indexes erased earlier losses made in the session. Official data revealed the UK's consumer price inflation hit its highest in 18 months in July when it increased to 3.8% in the fastest annual rise for a Group of Seven economy and approaching the BoE's forecast of a 4% peak in September. The data further tempered the already low expectations of a rate cut by the British central bank, with traders now betting on a quarter-point reduction in March next year. Earlier this month, markets had anticipated a cut before the end of 2025. The inflation report's interest rate implications led to a 0.2% dip in homebuilders on concerns about mortgage affordability. The aerospace and defence index came under pressure for a second consecutive day, falling 1.7% after marking its largest single-day decline since early April on Tuesday. Consumer stocks drove the gains on the FTSE 100, with Unilever, Reckitt and Tesco rising between 1.2% and 3.2%. The healthcare sector was up 1.8%. Financials added to the advances, with banks and non-life insurers advancing 1.4% and 1.7%, respectively. Utilities saw a 1.9% increase, with water provider United Utilities gaining 3.5% after Barclays upgraded its stock rating to "Overweight" from "Equal Weight." Among individual movers, Ithaca Energy jumped 10.4% to the highest in nearly three years after the oil and gas company lifted its 2025 production forecast. Medical equipment maker Convatec rose 5.6% and posted its best day since March this year, after it announced $300 million share buyback programme.

Saudi Arabia Authorises VistaJet as First International Private Jet Operator for Domestic Flights

Saudi Arabia's General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) has authorised Dubai-based VistaJet to operate domestic private jet services in the kingdom, marking the first time an international operator has been granted such rights. The move follows the lifting of cabotage restrictions for on-demand charter companies on May 1, allowing foreign-registered aircraft to conduct domestic flights within Saudi borders. GACA said the approval supports its Vision 2030 plan to transform the kingdom into a global aviation hub, while boosting competition, improving service quality, and attracting new investments. VistaJet, part of Vista Global Holding founded by Swiss billionaire Thomas Flohr, has been serving Saudi Arabia for more than 15 years on international routes. The company reported a 32% year-on-year rise in programme members in the kingdom during the first half of 2025. 'Given the nature of Vista's fully owned floating fleet, the company is best positioned to offer immediate private aviation services throughout the kingdom,' VistaJet said in a statement. With its long-range Global 7500 and soon-to-arrive Global 8000 jets, clients will also be able to fly non-stop to destinations worldwide directly from Saudi Arabia. The kingdom aims to grow the general aviation sector's contribution to GDP to 7.8 billion riyals ($2.08 billion) and create 35,000 jobs by 2030. Last year, Saudi Arabia's business jet sector recorded a 24% jump in flight volumes, underscoring strong demand from wealthy tourists, corporate travelers, and government officials.
