What is the FTSE 100 index?
It’s become such a familiar term, but how many of us can say with confidence what it shows, what it stands for, what the number means and what it’s got to do with the state of our economy?
On this episode of the Big Money Questions, Charles Stanley’s chief global strategist John Redwood goes back to basics for a FTSE explainer.
