FTSE 100 ends flat

FTSE 100 supported by financial, healthcare stocks

NEW YORK, USA - AUGUST 2019: FTSE 100 stock market index chart - 3D illustration rendering

London’s FTSE 100 erased early gains to end flat, as weakness in healthcare and commodity-linked shares countered advances in financials. This is while the index recorded its second consecutive monthly increase. After rising as much as 0.8%, the blue-chip FTSE 100 index ended flat, with Rio Tinto, Anglo American, Glencore and AstraZeneca among top drags.

The FTSE 100 ended the month 1.1% higher. They are significantly outperforming the wider European stock aggregate. And that had recorded its worst month since October 2020. Investors now await a key monetary policy decision from the Bank of England due later this week. This is where expectations are for a 50-basis-point rate hike. As it looks to tame rising inflation pressure. According to Brian Hillard, chief UK economist at Societe General, there are some concerns about the hit to disposable income from the surge in inflation coming in the spring. But this might just redouble the committee’s (MPC) resolve to bring it back under control. Leading gains were the insurance and industrial stocks, up 0.6% and 1.3% respectively.

Vodafone Group PLC was among the top FTSE 100 gainers. They are up 1.9%, after saying it would work with Intel Corp and other silicon vendors on designing its own chip architecture. This is to drive innovation and efficiency in nascent OpenRAN network technology. The FTSE 100 has been helped by a robust performance in higher weighted banking. The energy shares on expectations of rising interest rates and soaring oil prices. A lower representation of technology stocks that do not perform well in a high-interest scenario.

The domestically focussed mid-cap index rose 1.3%. This is with travel and leisure stocks gaining the most. Among stocks, British recruiting firm SThree jumped 12.6%. Britain’s biggest online-only estate agency, Purplebricks Group rose 1.3%. This is after following its forecast of a return to growth in 2023.
