Reported context

Written by sonar-pro

Recent reports say the FTSE 100 has been trading around record territory, with the index closing at 10,888.30 on 5 August and later at 10,867.89 on 6 August after a small decline. Reuters said the index has been moving with company results, with gains in names such as WPP, Persimmon and Glencore offset at times by falls in banks, Relx and broader weakness from Wall Street. Other reports said recent sessions were shaped by oil-price moves, uncertainty over the Strait of Hormuz, and a cautious tone ahead of economic data later in the week.

What these figures mean

Written by gpt-5.4-mini

The trailing-year return of 18.9% means the price was 18.9% higher at the end of the period than at the start. An annualised volatility of 11.3% means the price has typically moved around by about 11.3% over a year, while the largest peak-to-trough fall of -9.3% means that at one point it dropped 9.3% from a previous high before recovering. With a period low of 9,116.70 and a period high of 10,910.60, a current price at 97% of the way from low to high means it is very near the high rather than the low.
