The FTSE 100 finished at 14,230, a gain that looks modest on its own but carries more weight when Frankfurt and Paris moved in near-perfect lockstep alongside it.
The DAX and the CAC 40 also ended higher, meaning all three major European benchmarks closed up together, the kind of coordinated advance that rarely happens on a single session.
That alignment matters because it suggests the bid was broad rather than a quirk of any one market's sector mix. When London, Frankfurt, and Paris all finish green, it tends to reflect a shift in underlying sentiment rather than a single news catalyst propping up one index.
At 14,230, the FTSE sits within striking distance of fresh highs. Every session that grinds higher without a pullback narrows the entry window for investors still sitting on the sidelines.
