FTSE 100 circles all-time high
After another spike higher yesterday, the FTSE 100 is within easy distance of its all-time high at 7796.
The straight-line move shows no sign of stopping, with another dip to the rising trendline suggesting a bounce from around 7566. The Bank of England (BoE) meeting today might prompt a rebound in sterling, which could result in a potential buying opportunity here.
