What happened
Nvidia's stock volatility is ongoing, while the FTSE 100 index gained 0.18 per cent on Tuesday, reaching 10,875 points. This rally was primarily driven by mining stocks, including Glencore and Rio Tinto. Rio Tinto is currently in preliminary discussions with Glencore regarding a possible combination, which must comply with UK takeover regulations.

Why it matters
The M&A discussions, which are centered in the City of London, are subject to UK takeover regulations requiring Rio Tinto to announce a firm intention or walk away by a specified deadline. The FTSE 100's performance is being insulated from global tech volatility due to its relatively low exposure to AI stocks.
The market is currently focused on the stock performance of major technology companies and the European market.
