AIM Rebounds with 0.6% Gain, Outperforming FTSE 100 at the close on Friday. After several weeks of muted performance, London’s AIM market found fresh momentum, rising 0.6% to close at 761.34—marginally ahead of the FTSE 100, which ended Friday’s session down 5 points at 9,095.
Despite showing strength earlier in the week, the FTSE 100 lost ground following the Bank of England’s interest rate cut on Thursday, as investor sentiment wavered amid ongoing economic uncertainty. AIM’s outperformance suggests renewed appetite for smaller-cap stocks, even as broader market volatility persists.
