The UK still appears to be the golden child in Europe, helped by a potentially softer US stance on our tariffs, as well as better growth and inflation figures than expected.
The FTSE 100 ended the shortened holiday week up 4%, with the small caps up around 3.75%. Given the ever-shrinking playing field as far as AIM listings are concerned, perhaps it is the weak hands continuing to leave that is actually helping matters.
The negative poster child of this was news that Jarvis Securities is disposing of its retail execution-only brokerage business to Interactive Investor Services Limited for £11m.
This is quite a result, given that in the current environment, Interactive Investor is paying precisely £11m too much. At the moment, retail execution-only brokerage seems about as useful as driving around the North Pole with an ice cream van.
