FTSE 100 Week Ahead: Holiday-Shortened UK Trading, GDP Revisions and a FTSE Index Shake-Up as London Shares Eye 10,000
The FTSE 100 closed Friday near its all-time high at 9,897, up 2.6% for the week, as miners and defense stocks led gains. London markets face a shortened three-session week with thin trading and key UK economic data, including GDP revisions and business investment, due Monday. The FTSE 250 ended the week flat, highlighting sensitivity to domestic signals. The LSE will close early on Wednesday for Christmas.
