London Calling! FTSE 100 Stocks Flying High Once Again
Back in 2021, which when looking at a physical calendar does not seem such a long time ago yet feels an epoch ago when considering the changes in global economies and the capital markets since then, the FTSE 100 index was making headlines full of superlatives and enthusiasm as it pushed its way through the 7,000 point mark for the first time ever.
As that happened, investors and analysts alike were experiencing something of a sensory overload with so many exciting dynamics having taken place around the same time, including the notorious meme stock frenzy led by Reddit board groups, which dramatically affected the prices of certain entertainment stocks in the US and a deluge of relatively unheard of firms suddenly listing their stock on the NASDAQ exchange for multi-billion dollar valuations via SPAC entities.
Alongside these headline grabbers was London's FTSE 100 rallying like never before, which was an interesting backdrop because London listed firms are often traditional, long-established bricks-and-mortar entities with decades of institutional stability behind them as opposed to the disruptors of the NASDAQ, and not susceptible to volatility caused by the self-styled market makers of the Reddit boards.
