The FTSE 100 index, which tracks the 100 most valuable companies listed on the London Stock Exchange and was created in 1984, has broken through the 10,000 mark for the first time, peaking at 10,022. This milestone comes after a strong year in 2025, during which the FTSE 100 rose 21.5%. On the day of this record, Fresnillo, a precious metal producer, was the top riser, gaining about 4%. The increase occurred during the Santa Claus rally period, which includes the last five trading sessions of the year and the first two of the new year, a time typically characterized by light trading volumes.
