FTSE 250 index affected by oil price hikes

London stocks fell last week with the FTSE 250 index affected by rising oil prices ahead of the UK budget. Rolls-Royce shares fell due to a warning from Safran, while energy sector stocks increased. Banks and resource-related companies contributed to a general decline in stock values. Computacenter boosted its profit forecast due to rising orders for AI services, and Plus500 enhanced its annual outlook following a surge in new customer registrations. Oil prices continued to climb amid tensions between Iran and the US.
