FTSE 100 reels from worst week in a year as oil shock hits London stocks
London shares took their hardest weekly knock in nearly a year, rattled by climbing oil prices and more signs of strain in the U.S. economy that shook confidence at the London Stock Exchange. On Friday, the FTSE 100 shed 1.2%, while the mid-cap FTSE 250 dipped 0.8%. Both indexes just chalked up their roughest week since the sharp drop last April, when U.S. “Liberation Day” tariffs set off a global selloff, according to Reuters.
