最新报道:The UK's FTSE 100 index surged to a record high this week, buoyed by strong corporate earnings and easing inflation concerns. Major financial and energy stocks led the gains, with HSBC and BP both climbing over 3%. Analysts attribute the rally to improved investor sentiment as the Bank of England signals a potential pause in rate hikes. However, some warn of volatility ahead amid lingering economic uncertainties. The pound also strengthened against the dollar, trading at $1.31, its highest level in three months.
