2025.04.1516:03:00UTC+00FTSE 100 Rises for 4th Session

On Tuesday, the FTSE 100 advanced by 1.4%, marking its fourth consecutive session of gains amid indications that US President Trump might expand tariff exemptions. President Trump mentioned he is contemplating temporary exemptions for vehicle import tariffs, which could favor UK auto parts manufacturers that significantly export to the US. However, he is also moving forward with investigations into semiconductor and pharmaceutical imports, drawing attention to UK pharmaceutical companies such as AstraZeneca and GSK. Financial and interest rate-sensitive stocks emerged as top performers. Among individual stocks, discount retailer B&M reported a 5.8% increase, attributing the rise to better-than-expected profits and progress in the CEO succession process. Conversely, in the FTSE 250, luxury fashion company Burberry and Watches of Switzerland were among the largest decliners following reported sales declines by luxury conglomerate LVMH.
