    FTSE 100 today: Stocks rise as oil surge offsets US-Iran peace deadlock

    British stocks traded cautiously higher on Monday as U.S.-Iran ceasefire diplomacy hit a wall over the weekend, with energy stocks cushioning the blow from renewed geopolitical tensions after U.S. President Trump dismissed Tehran’s peace proposal as "totally unacceptable."

    At 03:30 ET (07:30 GMT), London’s blue-chip FTSE 100 edged up 0.20%, while France’s CAC 40 fell 0.64%, meanwhile Germany’s DAX was down 0.04%.
