16 October 2025
The recent daily trading pattern in the FTSE 100 continues, with a rally in the afternoon then followed by weakness the following morning. Does this mean that domestic investors sell in the morning and overseas investors, say from the US, are buying in the afternoon. Obviously it is impossible to say but it is just a thought. The Index finished last night down 28.02 points at 9,424.75 and it has once again drifted lower this morning being around 9,413 at noon.
