European equity close: UK stocks finish strong ahead of the election results

July 04, 2024 at 04:35PM
Closing changes:

Stoxx 600 +0.6%

German DAX +0.4%

UK FTSE 100 +0.8%

French CAC +0.8%

Italy MIB +0.8%

Spain IBEX +0.1%

I have a longstanding belief that you should always buy equity indexes ahead of election results. They create so much angst but very little change and the market generally breathes a sigh of relief, no matter the results.
