“FTSE 100 Soars to New Heights as UK Traders Tune Out Trump”

London’s top stock index has reached an unprecedented level of 8,979 points, buoyed by investors’ growing belief that Trump’s trade threats are more bark than bite. The near-9,000-point milestone has invigorated the British financial sector, which is riding a wave of market optimism.
This bullish momentum reflects a dramatic shift in how traders interpret geopolitical risks. Many now view Trump’s tariff talk as a negotiating strategy unlikely to disrupt global trade flows in the long run.
Mining stocks are surging thanks to rising commodity prices and a favorable exchange rate. British miners are benefiting from global demand for copper and gold, with the weaker dollar further amplifying returns.
What’s remarkable is the market’s composure. Even amid ongoing trade disputes and global tension, investors remain focused on long-term economic fundamentals, not political theatrics.
