FTSE 100 Dips 1% as Energy Stocks Slip and BT Hits Bottom
FTSE 100 Sees a Decline
The FTSE 100 dipped 1% on Tuesday, marking a troubling trend as energy stocks faced significant downward pressure. A third consecutive day of falling crude prices heavily impacted the energy sector, leading to a market sell-off.
BT's Position Declines
In addition to energy stocks, BT has unfortunately slipped to the bottom of the FTSE 100 index. This follows a recent deal by rival CityFibre, intensifying competition in the telecommunications industry.
