The FTSE 100 Index has extended its robust bull run, achieving a new record high. The benchmark index is now approaching the significant £10,500 milestone, marking a period of strong upward momentum. This impressive ascent follows two consecutive weeks of gains, propelling the index to unprecedented levels.
