FTSE Index derivatives


U.K. equities rebounded in May, with both large and mid-cap equities supported by improving global sentiment, easing trade risks and a rate cut by the Bank of England.

The Bank of England’s 25bps rate cut on May 8, reflected concerns about the secondary effects of U.S. tariffs on U.K. exports and the potential impact on financial stability. This move signalled a more accommodative stance amid rising geopolitical uncertainty.

On the geopolitical front, the U.K. government confirmed on May 29 its intention to fast-track a new limited trade deal with the U.S. While the deal keeps key U.S. tariffs on U.K. exports, it provides targeted improvement in market access for specific sectors. Market participants view this deal as a stepping stone toward broader economic alignment.

The FTSE 100 Index rose +3.3% for the month and is now +7.3% YTD, supported by value sector rotation and strong performance in both the energy and financials sectors.

The FTSE 250 Index advanced +5.8% in May, its strongest monthly performance of the year. Investor sentiment towards mid-cap names improved, supported by stabilizing domestic indicators and risk rotation back into U.K. assets.

MSCI Index derivatives


Global equities rallied strongly in May 2025, with the MSCI ACWI PR USD Index rising 5.5%, its best monthly gain since November 2023. The rally was broad-based and driven by a combination of moderating inflation pressures, a resilient Q1 corporate earnings season and signs of progress on global trade. A pause in U.S.–China tariff escalations and new trade deals with the U.K. helped lift risk sentiment, while a modestly lower U.S. dollar further supported international equities.

Emerging markets also participated in the rally, with the MSCI EM PR USD Index up 4.0% for the month. Chinese equities rose 2.1%, supported by targeted fiscal measures and central bank rate cuts aimed at stabilizing domestic demand. Indian equities gained 1.5% notably supported by institutional inflows and robust earnings in the financials and technology sectors.
