UK Stock Market Today (22 November 2025): FTSE 100 Edges Higher as Gloomy Data Deepen Budget Jitters
The FTSE 100 closed up 0.1% at 9,539.71 on Friday but lost 1.6% for the week, as weak UK economic data and pre-Budget nerves weighed on sentiment. The FTSE 250 slipped 0.1% to 21,363.37, marking its eighth straight decline. A late rally followed signals of possible US and UK rate cuts. AIM All-Share fell 0.8% on the day.
