31 October 2025
The market continued to recover yesterday afternoon to such an extent that the FTSE 100 ended the day in positive territory, closing up 3.92 points at 9,760.06. This was the ninth consecutive day of increases in the level of the index and takes the increase in the index over the month to some 409.63 points or 4.4%. Yet again the index is lower this morning, down over 50 points to remain just above 9,700. Whether it will rally this afternoon remains to be seen but after such a strong run we remain cautious.
