FTSE 100 on track for positive March quarter end

UK’s FTSE 100 was set for a positive end to the March quarter and touched fresh highs on Thursday after a rally last week, bolstered broadly by miner and bank stocks on the last trading day of the week.

The commodity-heavy FTSE 100 (.FTSE), was up 0.5% by 1003 GMT and the domestically-oriented FTSE 250 (.FTMC), was down 0.1%.

The benchmark index hovered at one-year highs, having touched similar levels last week. The blue-chip FTSE 100 index is set to end the January-March quarter with a 3% gain, its highest since the last quarter of 2022. For the week, the index is set to log a 0.4% gain.
