Ftse 100
The FTSE 100 is a stock market index comprising the 100 largest companies listed on the London Stock Exchange by market capitalization. It is the most widely used indicator of UK stock market performance and serves as a benchmark for British equity investments.
Example
“When the Bank of England unexpectedly held interest rates steady, the FTSE 100 rallied 2% as lower borrowing costs boosted the outlook for UK-listed companies.”
