Sky's Ian King explains why the FTSE 100 is outperforming the second tier for UK shares this year, declaring that it speaks volumes for the UK's economic outlook.
The FTSE 100 has hit a second all-time closing high in as many days. The index of the UK's biggest 100 listed companies, having earlier hit a new intra-day high of 8,075.52 at just after 8.24am on Tuesday, finished the session up 20.94 points, around 0.26%, at 8044.81. It's worth reflecting it has taken just over a year for the premier index to recapture the summit last achieved when, on 16 February 2023, the FTSE hit the dizzying heights of 8,047.06. A fair bit has happened since then.
Since three-quarters of earnings of FTSE 100 companies are denominated in other currencies, chiefly the US dollar, a fall in the pound against those currencies makes the future earnings generated by FTSE companies - whose shares are denominated in sterling - cheaper to buy in those currencies. That was certainly behind the big rally seen on Monday - although today sterling rallied on comments from Huw Pill, the Bank's chief economist, which suggests there is more going on.
