Read our privacy policy London’s FTSE 100 index managed to pull off a second straight day of gains, but a bruising week left it down by more than 100 points as traders went home on Friday. “European stock indices were initially dragged lower by their US counterparts as the country’s economy added nearly twice as many jobs as expected in September, the most in eight months,” said Axel Rudolph, senior market analyst at online trading platform IG. “Next week traders will focus on German industrial production, US inflation and UK GDP.” By the end of play, the German Dax index had gained 1.1% while France’s Cac 40 was up 0.9%.
