Daily Stock Market Report (Wed 1st April 2026) - TPT, BKG, CAV, BILN, RNWH, SBTX, SUS

Good morning!
March was "the worst month since Covid" for the FTSE, according to a City AM headline today.
While that's true, with the index falling 7%, it's still up 2% year-to-date. January and especially February were very strong.
And it's set to open up another 1% this morning, as markets now apparently believe the Iran war will end sooner rather than later.

(Year-to-date FTSE 100 Chart.)

All done for today, thank you.
