UNITED KINGDOM, JUL 21 – Mining sector gains led by Anglo American and Glencore helped the FTSE 100 index rise above 9,000, despite ongoing US-UK trade tensions and losses in banking and pharmaceutical stocks.
- The FTSE 100 index closed above 9,000 points for the first time on July 21, 2025, ending the day at 9,012.99 in London trading.
- The milestone followed a strong performance from mining stocks like Anglo American and Glencore, amid ongoing uncertainties including US-EU trade talks and tariff changes.

- Anglo American shares climbed 3.8% and Glencore rose by 3.7%, while BAE Systems dropped 2%. Michael Healy emphasized that for London to restore its status among the world’s top financial hubs, it needs to take a pioneering role on this issue.
- This breakthrough points to optimism but highlights challenges ahead, as investors await key US-EU trade negotiations and major earnings reports this week.
