FTSE 100 on Best Weekly Winning Streak Since January
The bittersweet week is closing out for UK markets. The FTSE 100 is getting closer to its record high, but London suffered a couple of blows in its ambitions to turn around a moribund IPO picture. Here's what's been happening today: The FTSE 100 is up for a sixth day in a row and is creeping closer to notching up a new record high. It's actually outdoing the Magnificent 7 big tech stocks by a fair margin. Surging defence and gold mining stocks are helping the index, as it a shift in its composition. On the former, BAE Systems is now bigger than BP. And on the latter, Fresnillo is outpacing Rio Tinto by a distance. The UK's lack of tech stocks, and the departure of Wise's primary listing, is likely to be a self-perpetuating cycle. And Manchester United shares have surged the most since 2022 in New York as, despite a poor season for the men's team, the club raised its earnings guidance.

Europe ends largely higher after US jobs report
European blue-chip stocks ended largely higher on Friday, growing in confidence after a stronger-than-expected US nonfarm payrolls reading. The FTSE 100 index rose 26.87 points, 0.3%, at 8,837.91. The FTSE 250 ended up 87.90 points, 0.4%, at 21,157.28, and the AIM All-Share climbed 2.42 points, 0.3%, at 756.88. For the week, the FTSE rose 0.8%, the FTSE 250 added 0.6%, and the AIM All-Share shot up 1.4%. In Paris, the CAC 40 rose 0.2%, while Frankfurt's DAX 40 ended 0.1% lower. The pound was quoted at 1.3522 US dollars late on Friday afternoon in London, lower compared to 1.3596 dollars at the equities close on Thursday. The euro stood at 1.1387 dollars, lower against 1.1456 dollars. Against the yen, the dollar jumped to 144.93 yen compared to 143.57 yen. The US economy added more jobs than expected last month, although the pace of hiring eased, numbers on Friday showed. According to the latest nonfarm payrolls from the Bureau of Labour Statistics, 139,000 more jobs were added to the US economy in May, topping the FXStreet-cited consensus of 130,000. The pace of job creation abated from 147,000 in April, a figure which was downwardly revised from 177,000. March's figure was revised down to 120,000 from 185,000. It means that in April and March combined, 95,000 fewer jobs were created than previously reported. The unemployment rate in May was 4.2%, in line with consensus and unmoved from April. The BLS said the jobless rate has been in a narrow range of 4.0% to 4.2% over the past year. Schroders analyst George Brown said: 'While it is premature to conclude the US economy will weather the tariff turmoil, the early signs remain encouraging, with a respectable 139,000 jobs created in May. Evidently there is a risk that the hit to confidence eventually leads to a sharp retrenchment. But we view this as unlikely given Donald Trump's first presidency demonstrated this is just part of his unconventional approach to deal-making. 'And while recent court rulings lower the risk of tariffs being raised to prohibitive rates, elevated inflation expectations will mean the Federal Reserve will be wary of falling behind the curve again. As such, our base case remains that the Fed will keep rates on hold for the rest of the year.' The yield on the US 10-year Treasury was quoted at 4.48%, stretching from 4.39% a day prior. The yield on the US 30-year Treasury was quoted at 4.94%, widening from 4.89%. In New York, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 0.8%, the S&P 500 climbed 0.9% and the Nasdaq Composite sat 1.1% higher at the time of the closing bell in London. Tesla shares perked up 5.9%, after a 14% slump on Thursday. Nonetheless, the spat between the electric carmaker's chief executive Elon Musk and US president Donald Trump continued. The White House squashed speculation that Mr Trump and Mr Musk would patch up their stunning public feud, saying the US president had no plans to call his billionaire former aide on Friday. Mr Trump lobbed fresh insults at the South African-born Mr Musk a day after the fiery implosion of their unlikely political marriage, saying the tech tycoon had 'lost his mind'. In a telling symbol of how their relationship had deteriorated, the president was even considering selling or giving away a Tesla he had bought to show support for Mr Musk amid protests against the company. On the move in London, banking shares helped support the FTSE 100. StanChart rose 2.9%, while Barclays added 1.9%. Defence stocks, which have enjoyed a strong week, returned some progress. BAE Systems shed 2.6%, snapping a five-day winning streak. Babcock lost 4.3%. Elsewhere, Dr Martens extended gains, adding another 8.7% after a more than 25% jump on Thursday. The boot maker had signalled a return to growth in the year ahead and a refreshed strategy on Thursday. Pinewood Technologies shot up 11%. The Birmingham-based provider of software to the automotive retailing sector said it has agreed to buy out a 51% stake in its joint venture, Pinewood North America, from Lithia UK for 76.5 million dollars in shares. Lithia UK is a wholly owned subsidiary of Oregon, US-based car dealer Lithia Motors. Pinewood said that it will enter a five-year contract with Lithia to roll out its software to all Lithia's current and future sites across the US and Canada by the end of 2028 at the latest. The company said it expects to generate around 40 million dollars in annual recurring revenue from Lithia in North America once its platform has been fully deployed. The biggest risers on the FTSE 100 were Standard Chartered, up 33.50 pence at 1,186.00p, 3i Group, up 115.00p at 4,265.00p, Hiscox, up 25.00p at 1,351.00p, Barclays, up 6.15p at 333.20p, and Aviva, up 11.20p at 626.80p. The biggest fallers on the FTSE 100 were Babcock International, down 48.00p at 1,057.00p, Anglo American, down 76.50p at 2,217p, Endeavour Mining, down 74.00p at 2,312.00p, Antofagasta, down 52.00p at 1,895.50p, and BAE Systems, down 51.50p at 1,930.50p. Brent oil rose to 66.21 dollars a barrel late in London on Friday afternoon, from 65.51 dollars late on Thursday. Gold was quoted lower at 3,330.06 dollars an ounce against 3,364.84 dollars.

Trending tickers: Tesla, Lululemon, Circle, Broadcom
The dispute between Tesla (TSLA) CEO Elon Musk and US president Donald Trump ratcheted up on Thursday evening, sending the electric vehicle maker's stock into a tailspin. Musk alleged that Trump was mentioned in the Jeffrey Epstein files. Meanwhile, Trump threatened to cut off Musk's government contracts. Stock dropped 14.3% before the closing bell as the spat played out on social media, but looks set to recover somewhat when US markets open later on, according to futures contracts. Read more: FTSE 100 LIVE: Stocks mixed as traders weigh up Trump-Musk row "Apparently, they are going to cool off a bit and talk things over," said Neil Wilson, UK investor strategist at Saxo Markets. "But in the words of Anchorman, boy that escalated quickly!" "Selling in Tesla was HEAVY with $153bn wiped out in one day. There is a whole cluster of related items here — we saw the likes of Palantir (PLTR) also hit hard, down almost 8%. Tesla though is coming back in pre-market trade." Lululemon (LULU) also shed nearly a quarter of its stock market value on Thursday, dipping 22.4% in after hours trading following a disappointing set of results for the quarter. The results raised concerns about growth, as it forecast sales of $2.54bn-$2.56bn, below expectations, and cut its full-year EPS outlook. The athleisure-maker is set to continue the downward spiral when markets open, with stock a further 1.3% lower in premarket. Read more: Stocks that are trending today 'We intend to leverage our strong financial position and competitive advantages to play offense, while we continue to invest in the growth opportunities in front of us," said CEO Calvin McDonald in a news release. He added on a call with analysts that consumers are being cautious and intentional about their buying decisions, given the current economic environment. Crypto company Circle (CRCL) saw its stock price more than double on its first day of trading on Thursday, jumping 168.5% as the team rang the bell at the New York Stock Exchange. The company, which issues stablecoins, capitalised on the more favourable regulatory conditions for crypto companies under the Trump administration. Trade in the shares was halted more than once on Thursday due to volatility, as the stock rose rapidly after opening at around $69 apiece. Circle's market capitalisation stood north of $16bn at end of the day's trading. Stocks: Create your watchlist and portfolio Circle issues the stablecoin USDC (USDC-USD), which is backed by the dollar. There was $60bn worth of USDC in circulation at the end of the first quarter. In the first three months of the year, the company's revenue and reserve income totalled $578.6m, up 58.5% from a year ago. The company makes most of its revenue from "reserve income," which is what it makes on cash backing USDC that is held in banks or invested in Treasury bills. Circle's adjusted EBITA tallied $122.4m in the first quarter. Broadcom (AVGO) shares were as much as 4% lower in premarket on Friday following a third-quarter revenue forecast which left investors wanting. The company has enjoyed a steady increase in its share price recently, up more than 29% month-on-month as AI optimists pile into chip stocks. The pullback followed a third-quarter revenue forecast of around $15.8bn, compared with analysts' average estimate of $15.7bn, according to data compiled by LSEG. It also reflects geopolitical uncertainty in the broader market — chip manufacturers have been sensitive to Trump's trade war with the passage of computer parts a key negotiation point. Export curbs could have an effect on bottom lines as Washington attempts to limit Beijing's access to advanced US tech.
