India, May 19 -- UK Stock Market Today (May 19,2026): The UK stock market is trading in positive note today, with the FTSE 100 gaining around 0.68% to trade near the 10,394 level, while the FTSE 250 climbed 0.86%. European markets extended their recovery for a second straight session after last week's global sell-off, as concerns over inflation and tensions in the Middle East showed signs of easing. Investor sentiment improved after Donald Trump said the US was delaying additional strikes on Iran, a move that helped pull Brent crude prices lower and reduced some inflation worries, although oil prices continue to remain above $110 per barrel.
