TODAY’S FACTORS AND EVENTS
London stocks finished the week with a second step higher, as financials and miners rose again to offset caution hitting the housebuilding and retail sectors.
By the close on Friday, the FTSE 100 was up by 24.38 points or 0.34% at 7,164.14. Asian markets were mixed and so was the overnight Wall Street session.
Sterling was fairly flat, at 1.1333 against the euro and up 0.1% on the dollar at 1.3952.
While there was tension in London over the fallout from the poisoning of a Russian defector and Brexit negotiations, the always eventful Trump White House was not weighing on market sentiment.
