FTSE 100 rallies on weakening pound
On Wednesday, Britain’s key stock index managed to ascend because the benchmark was backed by a weakening pound against the backdrop of lingering worries as for the country’s escape from the European Union.
Concerns about so-called Brexit put pressure on Britain’s currency and market participant’s mood. However, the pound’s weakness gave some boost to businesses doing business abroad.
The FTSE 100 leapt by 0.6% demonstrating an outcome of 7,762.23 having leapt by 0.7% in the previous trading marathon, putting the UK equity gauge on track to report a fourth straight profit as well as its most impressive gain since May 24.
The currently pair GBP/USD tumbled to a value not observed since August of 2017.
So far this week the UK blue-chip gauge has ascended by 1.3% that would mark its greatest weekly jump since May 11.
