Pension pots and ISAs got a boost as London's blue-chip index posted its longest winning streak since the Iran conflict started in late February. The FTSE 100 rose 1.7%, or 173 points, to close at 10,350 on Wednesday, led by gains in Babcock, Rolls-Royce, and Endeavour. Analysts called it a relief rally after Trump's comments suggesting the war could end within weeks.
