London's FTSE 100 just touched a record high — and market watchers see more upside ahead
London's FTSE 100 touched a fresh record high on Friday – and some market watchers see more upside ahead for the long-maligned index, with U.S. tariffs, macroeconomic influences and outperformance in certain sectors sparking a widespread reassessment of U.K. equities. The U.K. index — home to some of the world's most renowned companies, including AstraZeneca , Shell , Unilever and Rolls-Royce — briefly climbed to an all-time intraday high on Friday, following four consecutive days of gains. It has since erased gains for the session, trading 0.2% lower by 1:53 p.m. in London (8:53 a.m. ET). .FTSE YTD line FTSE 100 price So far this year, the FTSE 100 has jumped 12.4%. In comparison, Wall Street's S & P 500 is up by just under 10% since the beginning of 2025, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average has risen by 5.6%. America's tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite is up 12.4%. Compared to other major regional markets, the FTSE 100 has performed relatively well this year. While it hasn't recorded the blockbuster returns of the German DAX – which is up 22.6% year-to-date – or Spain's IBEX 35 – which has surged almost 32% higher this year – it has outperformed the Swiss SMI index, Sweden's OMX Stockholm 30 , the French CAC 40 and the pan-European Stoxx 600 . Can the FTSE 100 go higher? "The decent yield and ongoing wave of takeovers both suggest there may still be value to be had in the UK market, given consensus forecasts for earnings and dividend growth," Russ Mould, investment director at AJ Bell, told CNBC in an email on Friday. "No-one seemed interested in the U.K. equity market at the start of the year, other than to bash it for failing to attract more new flotations and the defection of some companies to other exchanges, but what is unloved can also be undervalued. And valuation is the ultimate arbiter of investment return." While the U.K. index is currently on track for its fifth consecutive year of gains, questions over London's appeal have been circulating for some time, with companies opting to list in alternative markets . Concerns about the U.K.'s economy and competitive edge post-Brexit have also weighed on sentiment. Meanwhile, the FTSE 100's tilt toward traditional industries like mining, energy, banks and consumer staples have also raised questions about growth potential in recent years – but many of those sectors, particularly European lenders, have outperformed this year . "The U.K.'s exposure to sectors like miners, oils and financials means it may also be an option for investors to consider if the Trump administration gets U.S. growth to run hot and inflation does the same as a result," Mould said. "Under such circumstances, long duration assets like technology, where America's indices are heavily represented, could look less attractive, and this would only be an action replay of 2021-22 when value had a go at outperforming growth, if only relatively briefly." 'Anywhere But The USA' Paul Surguy, managing director and head of investment management and proposition at London-based investment manager Kingswood Group, labeled the U.K. stock market as "the market that everyone loved to hate for some time." But like Mould, Surguy told CNBC that the tide could be turning for British equity markets, thanks to falling interest rates and the U.K.'s uniquely positive relationship with the White House. "This [negative sentiment] led valuations to be extremely cheap, especially relative to the U.S. which has its own problems," Surguy said Friday by email. Earlier this year, the U.K. became the first country in the world to sign a trade agreement with Washington following U.S. President Donald Trump's unveiling of his so-called "reciprocal" tariffs. While Britain wasn't fully spared from new import duties on its goods, the deal significantly softened the blow in comparison to America's other trading partners . Surguy said that the U.K.-U.S. trade deal had helped buoy the investment case for London-listed equities. "The U.K. is less exposed to U.S. tariff hikes than most countries, with exports of goods to the U.S. only making up 2% of GDP," he said. "And the recent limited trade deal generally sees US tariff increase to 10% – lower than for most other countries." AJ Bell's Mould said the U.K. was now well positioned to benefit from a trend among investors that has seen a widespread desire to diversify assets to markets outside of the U.S., in light of unpredictable policy changes from the current administration. Some have described this trend the " Sell America " or " Anywhere But the USA " movement. "The U.K. could also be benefiting from some investors' desire to at least hedge, if not decrease, their exposure to U.S. dollar-denominated assets, given how well they have done for the last decade and how America's federal debts, style of government and trade policies do not necessarily sit well with all and or the post-1947-GATT-deal consensus that has done so much to lift so many boats on the globalisation tide," Mould said. Cashing out Conversely, Iain Barnes, chief investment officer at London-based wealth manager Netwealth, told CNBC on Friday that he was starting to look at markets outside of the U.K. for further opportunities, although he wasn't completely shunning the British market. "The FTSE has had a cracking year so far, but it's interesting to see the drivers of returns," Barnes said. "More than half of the index's 15% return in 2025 has come from the banks, Rolls Royce and BAE, so it hasn't been based on optimism around UK plc." Barnes noted that broadly, conditions continue to look favorable for the large banking sector, which should be supportive of further growth in the FTSE 100. "Despite the FTSE's lacklustre long-term earnings growth, we do like the U.K. market's role in wider equity portfolios thanks to its complementary characteristics with other, faster growing markets," Barnes said. "Yield generation, and bigger energy and materials allocations mean the FTSE often does well when other markets are struggling. However, our latest move has been to reduce the FTSE after its strong performance, targeting more clear yield generation and better value in the U.K. commercial property sector on a cyclical view, as well as seeking more exciting performance potential in Japan and across emerging markets."

FTSE 100 LIVE: Markets higher ahead of Trump-Putin summit in Alaska
The FTSE 100 (^FTSE) and European stocks rose on Friday as the market looks to president Donald Trump's symbolic meeting with Russian leader Vladimir Putin in Alaska and attempts to end the Russia-Ukraine war. Trump said on Friday that Putin "won't mess around with me" ahead of their first face to face meeting in more than six years. On Thursday, UK prime minister Keir Starmer offered his support to Ukraine, hosting the country's president Volodymyr Zelensky at Downing Street. European powers have also rallied around the leader in hopes of a ceasefire. Although Trump's talks have been touted as important, Zelensky is notably excluded from the summit. He said he would not accept decisions made in his absence. The one-on-one talks are scheduled for 8pm UK time ahead of a meeting including their five-member entourages. In terms of market movement, the talks could have an impact on commodity prices, with oil (BZ=F, CL=F) being a crucial lever in the Russian economy. London's premier index was 0.3% in the green at the opening bell, regaining from losses on Thursday. Big mining stocks led the charge, with the likes of Rio Tinto (RIO.L) and Antofagasta (ANTO.L) in an ebullient mood. The DAX (^GDAXI) in Germany jumped 0.6%. The index is up around 1.5% in the past five sessions. The CAC 40 (^FCHI) rallied 0.6%. For the week it is up 2.3% so far. The pan-European STOXX 600 (^STOXX) rose 0.4%. Bitcoin whipsaws The US PPI inflation shock sapped some of the enthusiasm out of a roaring crypto market. Bitcoin (BTC-USD) had received a boost from mounting rate-cut bets, too, reaching a new record high Wednesday evening before rolling over. It was around 2% lower in morning trade on Friday. Intel shares jump on possible US government stake Shares of Intel (INTC) jumped more than 7% on Thursday and looked set to continue its ascent in premarket trade, following a report the US government is considering taking a stake in the struggling chipmaker. According to Bloomberg, the plan could see the government help Intel build out its planned chip complex in Ohio, which the company has had to delay as part of its ongoing turnaround effort. Intel announced the facility in 2022 with an initial investment of $20bn that could grow to $100bn over time. Intel declined to comment on the report. In a statement a company spokesperson said, 'Intel is deeply committed to supporting President Trump's efforts to strengthen U.S. technology and manufacturing leadership. We look forward to continuing our work with the Trump Administration to advance these shared priorities, but we are not going to comment on rumors or speculation.' The report follows President Trump's meeting with Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan on Monday. The Ohio site was supposed to include two new manufacturing plants and start producing chips by 2025, but that's since been delayed into the 2030s. CEO Lip-Bu Tan, who took over when former CEO Pat Gelsinger was ousted by the company's board due to the slow turnaround in 2024, has since delayed the plant even further. US stock futures rally US stocks mostly stalled on Thursday as Wall Street digested a much hotter-than-expected PPI inflation print, souring optimism around a large September rate cut. The major gauges wavered for much of the session, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) closing down slightly, and the benchmark S&P 500 (^GSPC) rising just above the flatline to notch a third record close in a row. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) closed just below its record high. But their fortunes seemed to be in more positive territory on Friday, as they regained some steam in premarket. Dow futures traded 0.8% in the morning session in London, while the Nasdaq and S&P 500 looked set to open 0.1% and 0.3% higher respectively. Good morning! Hello from London.
