The FTSE 100 index experienced a decline on Tuesday, largely due to persistent pressure from travel and leisure stocks coupled with a stronger pound. The blue-chip index dropped by 0.2% at 1100 GMT, marking the potential for a sixth consecutive session of losses. British Airways owner IAG fell 4% following Delta Air Lines’ profit forecast cut, exacerbating concerns over economic uncertainties in the U.S., while Holiday Inn owner IHG dropped by 3.3%.
