13 November 2026

The end of another week with the FTSE 100 rising by around 100 points during the week.  This move has taken it to within striking distance of its all-time closing high of 10,910.55 (it is at 10,878 at 3pm) with this a target for next week.  Having said that, the Index has been up to this level a few times over recent months and given the ongoing uncertainties in the economy (slowing housing market, volatile oil price etc) a new record may be hard to set.
