The index closed down 34.54 points, or 0.5%, finishing the day at 7,439.13 and bringing a six-day winning streak to an end. “It’s been a subdued end to what has been a negative month for European markets, with the FTSE 100 once again finding a base just above the 7,210 level, the third time this year the UK blue-chip has bounced off this key level,” said CMC Markets analyst Michael Hewson.
