Spirax and Legal & General Drag FTSE 100 Lower

London’s blue-chip index retreated for the second consecutive session on Tuesday, pressured by a wave of broker downgrades and cooling investor sentiment. The FTSE 100 struggled to find footing as individual corporate outlooks soured, highlighting a broader period of volatility across the financial and industrial sectors.

Spirax led the downward momentum as shares in the valve manufacturer plummeted following a lackluster financial forecast. This disappointment served as a catalyst for wider market anxiety, pulling the index deeper into negative territory.

Legal & General mirrored this decline, acting as a bellwether for a broader selloff within the insurance sector. The insurer faced significant pressure after receiving multiple broker downgrades, leaving investors to weigh the impact of shifting analyst sentiment against the current economic climate.
