The Chai Tattle - 4th February 2026

A brief summary of the economic market at end of day looking at indicators and metrics not found elsewhere.

Volume returned to the market with turnover going back above 1bn but most of that was driven by KEL which had an enormous turnover, accounting for almost half of all trading on the broad market! This is what put the indices up by some margin, but that strength was not present throughout the other equities.

Outside of KEL trading was roughly more positive but liquidity is now a problem on the market.
