The FTSE 100 extended its losses on Friday, closing at 8,248.5, halting two consecutive days of gains, in line with declines in European and US markets. The latest US jobs report highlighted a strong job market, reinforcing expectations that the Federal Reserve may pause interest rate cuts. On the business front, Schroders (-4.4%) and J Sainsbury (-4.3%) underperformed, with the latter having flagged strong Christmas trading in an update this morning, though analysts warned that efforts to cut prices could weigh on future performance. Intercontinental Hotels Group led risers in the meantime, rising 1.4%. BP and Shell were also among the day’s winners, in line with a spike in oil prices. For the week, the FTSE 100 posted a gain of 0.3%, despite a turbulent week for UK financial markets.

On the corporate front, Entain, BT Group, Beazley and Natwest were the biggest laggards, losing between 3.5% and 4.6%. Retail giant Sainsbury’s was also lower despite reporting a 3.8% rise in Christmas sales and forecasted full-year profit at the mid-point of £1.01 billion. On the upside, energy shares such as Shell and BP were among the top performers, benefiting from a spike in oil prices. For the week, the FTSE 100 was set to book a gain of nearly 1%, despite the ongoing turbulence in the UK financial markets.
