I didn't post a link to the FTSE100 for this reason.
The biggest gains on the FTSE100 on friday occured in precious metal extraction companies that have little/no presence in the UK and probably report their accounts in dollars. The FTSE100 is not a reliable economic indicator, the value of the pound is, it directly affects the UK economy.
