21.08.202511:36:25UTC+00UK Stocks Move Into the Red

On Thursday afternoon, the FTSE 100 experienced a slight decline, trading below 9,270 after reaching an intraday high of 9,302. This movement reflects traders' reactions to mixed economic data and anticipation of the upcoming Jackson Hole symposium. The Confederation of British Industry's (CBI) latest industrial trends survey indicated a decrease in output volumes for the quarter to August, following a period of stability in July. Conversely, Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) figures showed that UK private sector activity increased at its fastest rate in a year. The index's performance is also affected by several companies going ex-dividend, with Mondi, Legal & General, Entain, and Schroders among the most significant declines. On a positive note, stocks in the defense and aerospace sectors gained ground amidst renewed concerns about the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, with BAE Systems notably rising by 2.1%.
