FTSE 100 Drops as AstraZeneca Hit Pounds London Shares

London stocks lagged Tuesday as FTSE 100 missed surge in other corners

The FTSE 100 edged lower Thursday, though the main index drop didn’t tell the whole story. A big pharmaceutical stock weighed on the benchmark, but banks, miners, tech names and mid-cap shares all moved up in the background. FTSE 100 slipped 0.2% to 10,472.5. Gains in banks, up 2.2%, and miners, both industrial and precious-metal names, up over 4%, couldn’t make up for AstraZeneca’s trial news. The FTSE 250 added 1.0%, breaking a three-day losing streak and suggesting investors aren’t just pulling out of UK names.

Aberdeen Group closes out lower ahead of FTSE 100 re-entry

Aberdeen Group closed up 1.6 pence at 234 pence on Friday, after trading between 224 and 234 pence through the session. Shares cut their weekly loss to around 3.4%. Trading volume topped 15 times what was seen Thursday. London markets shut for the weekend. Index mechanics look like the main force behind the move. FTSE Russell brought Aberdeen into the index at Friday’s close. Formal membership starts at the open Monday. That means passive fund demand—driven by portfolios tracking the index—may have already gone through.
