The FTSE 100 rose to a fresh record of 8,120 on Friday, buoyed by positive earnings results of the US tech giants and Darktrace rally. The mid-cap firm soared by over 16% on $5.32 billion buyout deal by Thoma Bravo. Domestically, UK consumer sentiment surged to a 2-year high in April, indicating improved households' views on the economy and personal finances. Investors will now await US PCE price data. The top gainers of the day were NatWest (3.3%), Ashtead (2.2%), Scottish Mortgage (2%), Prudential (1.9%), and Rio Tinto (1.9%), NatWest increased after reporting a 27% fall in profit for the Q1 of 2024, less than anticipated. In contrast, Barclays (-2.2%), Anglo American (-1%), and Pearson (-1.7%) declined. Anglo American turned down BHP's proposal, saying the bid sharply undermined the miner and its future prospects. Meanwhile, Pearson fell despite meeting its expectations for underlying sales. Weekly, the index was poised for nearly 3% rise, its best performance in 7 months.
