周五，富时100指数小幅上涨，但落后于其他欧洲市场，延续了其在下跌市场跑赢大盘、在情绪好转时跑输大盘的趋势。这部分是由于其防御性行业的权重和对周期性宏观趋势的敞口减少。本周，油价波动是一个主要影响因素。尽管原油价格上涨最近提振了石油巨头英国石油公司和壳牌公司，但今天的油价下跌对该指数造成了沉重打击，这两只股票都是最大的输家。伯克利集团领跌，下跌8%，此前该集团公布年度税前利润下降5.1%，并宣布首席财务官理查德·斯蒂恩为新任首席执行官。虽然建筑成本稳定，但疲软的经济状况给定价带来了压力。该公司注意到销售量有所改善，但表示消费者信心较低。上涨方面，Melrose、渣打银行和Entain上涨超过2%。与此同时，英国5月份零售额下降2.7%，远低于预期，引发了人们对第二季度经济疲软的担忧。

The FTSE 100 edged slightly higher on Friday but lagged behind other European markets, continuing its trend of outperforming in down markets and underperforming when sentiment improves.

On the upside, Melrose, Standard Chartered, and Entain gained over 2%. Meanwhile, UK retail sales fell 2.7% in May, sharply worse than expected, raising concerns about a weakening economy in Q2.
