Understanding FTSE 100
The FTSE 100 represents the 100 largest companies listed on the London Stock Exchange. As a benchmark for the UK economy, it's a first port of call for British traders and investors. The index is heavily weighted towards financials, energy and mining companies, making it sensitive to commodity prices and GBP movements.
FTSE 100 is the natural home market for UK traders. Its behaviour around London open, news events and US market open creates consistent intraday trading opportunities.
