The British Stock Exchange FTSE index is steadily rising.

The FTSE index reflects the share prices of the 100 largest companies in Great Britain and shows the situation in the country's economy.
Although in our case, the rise in value is most likely caused by investors transferring savings from the falling pound into shares of the most attractive companies.

Despite the fact that the pound has lost significant weight recently, the FTSE index surpassed its historical maximum on December 30.

The growth over the past day was 0.3%, which is quite a lot for such a short period of time.

Now the FTSE 100 has reached 7142.83, the index value has been growing steadily over the past month, with growth of 412.11 points in December. In 2016, the FTSE rose by more than 14%, with most of the growth occurring in the second half of the year. The main growth in the index was driven by shares of companies such as GlaxoSmithKleine, Rolls-Royce Holding, and BAE Systems.
