UK's FTSE rises above 7,000 points for the first time ever
None
Britain's top share index hit new record highs on Friday, with the index rising above the 7,000 point level for the first time in its history. The blue-chip FTSE 100 index rose as much as 0.7 percent to a record high of 7,013.83 points going into the close of the trading session.
Retail investors often use the fact that a stock market has risen above such key levels as a sign that a bull market run has momentum, with Germany's DAX also having advanced past the 12,000 point barrier to set new record highs.
