Britain’s stock market has achieved its longest daily gains since 2019, with the FTSE 100 closing nearly 8 points higher at 8,415—a rise of 0.09%. The index has risen for 10 consecutive trading sessions, climbing from 7,679 points on April 9. This marks the most sustained rally since the “Boris Bounce” following Boris Johnson’s election victory more than five years ago.
AIM All-Share experienced a steady, albeit modest, performance during the shortened trading week, increasing by less than a quarter of a percent to close at 671.36. Although the index has shown upward momentum over the past two weeks, it remains far from reclaiming its 2025 peak of 729.
