The United Kingdom's stock market has recently experienced turbulence, with the FTSE 100 index closing lower amid weak trade data from China and global economic uncertainties. As these challenges persist, investors may find opportunities in stocks that are estimated to be significantly undervalued, potentially offering a margin of safety in an unpredictable market environment.
