19 May 2026
A strong rally yesterday at the start of the week as the FTSE 100 rose by over 128 points to 10,323. However, with political wrangling set to continue for the next few weeks further volatility looks likely. One area that is not as badly affected by this is the UK small cap sector where there remain many bargains. These shares tend not to be as vulnerable to movements in the markets as shares in the FTSE 100 and so these are a good place to invest right now.
