# Share Talk Weekly Stock Market News Review, Sunday 26th April 2026

The **FTSE 100** closed down 78 points, or 0.75%, at 10,379, while the **FTSE 250** fell 0.8% to 22,582.81. AIM had been trading close to multi-year lows before the Iran conflict.

When the Strait of Hormuz disruption triggered a global risk-off move, AIM initially sold off further—but unlike large caps, it **snapped back quickly**. That’s typical of illiquid small-cap markets: once forced selling fades, even modest buying can drive outsized gains.
