The FTSE 100 edged lower on Friday, closing down around 15 points at just under 10,364. The FTSE 250 showed a more positive tone heading into the bank holiday, rising 0.3% to close at 22,531.61.

The London benchmark ended April broadly flat and has started May on a softer footing, with elevated UK bond yields—still near multi-year highs—continuing to weigh on equity valuations.
