There wasn’t much cause for celebration in the broader stock market, although there wasn’t significant cause for concern either, as the AIM All-Share Index remained relatively unchanged at 739 by the end of the week.
Mid-week trading, however, showed some buoyancy, as market sentiment shifted regarding the timing of the Bank of England’s first rate cut following a report from the Office for National Statistics indicating softening in various sectors, including subdued wage growth.
In the realm of blue-chip stocks, the FTSE 100 reached a three-month peak on Wednesday following this data. Despite a slight retreat towards the end of the week, the FTSE managed to close with a gain of over one percent.
