Read our privacy policy The London Stock Exchange has enjoyed a rally on the last trading day of the year, with the FTSE 100 gaining more than 50 points to end 2024 in the green. The FTSE 100 gained 52.01 points, or 0.64%, to close at 8,173.02 just after midday on New Year’s Eve, when European markets closed prior to the bank holiday. The FTSE 100 wrapped up 2024 on a high note, shaking off a slow start to the session to finish the year in positive territory Matt Britzman, analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown Matt Britzman, senior equity analyst for Hargreaves Lansdown, said: “The FTSE 100 wrapped up 2024 on a high note, shaking off a slow start to the session to finish the year in positive territory. Mr Britzman said it had been a “year of range-bound trading” – meaning the price fluctuated between a specific high and low price – while oil could see a “potentially volatile 2025, with supply concerns, geopolitical tensions, and shifting US policy looming large”.
