[QUOTE="Aspiring Peasants, post: 8520586, member: 198"] Good news for the UK from the Daily Telegraph As tumbling global stock markets suffered their worst year since 2008 in a near 20pc plunge, London’s blue-chip index eked out a 0.9pc gain over 2022. It made the FTSE 100 the only major market to deliver investors positive total returns when also including dividends. The index finished the year at 7,451.74 points with total returns of 4.6pc. The performance is a boost for London, whose stocks have been unloved since the Brexit vote. The FTSE 100 is still 3.5pc lower than it was five years ago, while the S&P 500 is up almost 39pc over the same time frame. The FTSE 100 benefited from a falling pound, which boosts companies that earn money abroad and then turn it into British currency, as well as a strong performance by heavyweight energy and defence stocks including BP, Shell and BAE Systems. The value of world shares was slashed by around a fifth as central banks rapidly increased interest rates to tame inflation and many economies heading towards recession The S&P 500 slipped by more than 20pc as US tech titans plunged while the Euro Stoxx 50 - the largest eurozone blue-chips - tumbled 12pc.
