Live Price & Quant AI Analysis

LIVE DATA · MCX INDIA · QUANT AI ANALYSIS · RITIK TECHS

The FTSE 100 tracks the 100 largest LSE-listed companies — Shell (~8%), AstraZeneca (~7%), HSBC (~6%), Unilever, Rio Tinto, BP, GSK, BHP, Glencore, and Diageo lead the index. Over 70% of FTSE 100 revenues are generated outside the United Kingdom.

MARKET UPDATE: 21 SEPTEMBER 2026

FTSE 100 (UK) runs on a session calendar that doesn't overlap cleanly with NSE's, so what matters most for Indian traders isn't the live intraday move but where it ends up by the time it closes for its own day.

Crude Oil and LME Prices as FTSE Drivers

Shell (~8%) and BP (~4%) together are 12% of FTSE 100. Rio Tinto, BHP, Anglo American, and Glencore add another 5–6%. This gives FTSE 100 approximately 17–18% direct commodity exposure — more than any other major G10 equity index.

FTSE 100 and Indian Markets

Commodity Correlation Channel

FTSE 100 rising often signals commodity price strength that may lift MCX prices, given the index's heavy energy and mining exposure. Indian IT companies also monitor GBP as a revenue translation variable given significant UK BFSI client exposure.
