The FTSE 100 advanced 43 points to 10,890 on Friday, holding firm even as US markets came under heavy pressure. Across the Atlantic, Wall Street opened sharply lower, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average tumbling almost 700 points.
The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite were also firmly in the red, reflecting a broader risk-off tone. One notable exception was Netflix, whose shares jumped 8.5% at the open to $91.74. The rally suggests investor relief that the streaming giant showed pricing discipline and chose not to raise its offer in response to Paramount’s competing bid.
