The FTSE 100 is a dog of an index with crappy sectoral biases. Whatever else is booming, you can be sure the FTSE will be half-booming relative to that.Comment

The FTSE100 was at 7500 at the beginning of the year before Covid hit. So with the vaccine announced today I see no reason why it won't return there soon.
Add to the mix the stimulus and money printing the Bank of England has been doing this year, inflation is IMHO due to rise, and the FTSE will tend to rise with it as its constituent companies find themselves able to raise prices.Comment
