FTSE 100 outpaces FTSE 250 as markets watch for UK GDP, PMI data

London stocks are showing a split as the new week starts. The FTSE 100 was up 1.40% last week, but the FTSE 250 slipped 0.23%. The mid-cap gauge still tracks UK demand best, and fresh domestic numbers remain soft. Blue chips struggled Friday. Energy and banks led the FTSE 100 down, with Shell and BP each slipping over 0.9% as oil dropped 2.3%. The banks sub-index was off 1.4%. Autos fell 3.9%. Chemicals lost 3.0%. Wise stood out, jumping 9.6% after reporting a 21% jump in active customers to 18.9 million for fiscal 2026 and laying out a new share-buyback plan.

FTSE 100 falls as oil and banks weigh, but still tops midcaps for week

The main session on the London Stock Exchange closed after the regular 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. BST trading window. This report was filed at 18:01 BST in London. FTSE 100 fell on Friday. For the week, the division was clearer: big firms with global sales finished up 1.4%, while FTSE 250, which leans domestic, slipped. The FTSE 100 is still running more on overseas earnings, gold and defensives than faith in UK demand.
