Company snapshot — FTSE 100

FTSE.INDX in five paragraphs: what it makes and sells, where it sits in the Closelook stack, who it is priced against, why we track it, what we watch. Research diary, not advice.

What it does
The FTSE 100 is a benchmark index tracking the largest companies by market value listed on the London Stock Exchange. It is widely used as a shorthand for the health of large UK-listed business generally.
Where it sits in the stack
The FTSE 100 sits outside our index; it is not part of the AI build-out stack that our sleeves track, but functions as a broad UK large-cap benchmark against which sector moves are read.
Who it is priced against
The comparison the market draws is with other broad national benchmarks such as the FTSE All-Share and the German DAX, which serve a similar role for their own markets.
Why Closelook tracks it
The diary carries no index seat, no Closelook score and no quotes for this entry; it appears in the diary only through its chart structure, which the desk reads as a backdrop to sector moves.
What the diary watches
Whether the index holds above its 50-day and 200-day trend lines, since a break either way tends to colour how the desk reads sentiment across the sleeves it tracks.
