FTSE 100 down after OBR leaks Budget

The Budget announcement took place on Wednesday, following an earlier leak for which an apology was issued.

Investors have had a minimal impact on the stock market ahead of the Budget.

The FTSE 100 is currently down by a slight 0.04 per cent for the day, a small decline after an earlier rise.

This minor dip is not considered a damaging or dramatic concern at this stage.

Primary market action is anticipated in currency markets and bond yields, with stock market changes expected as a secondary effect.
