UK Stocks Rise on Upbeat Sentiment: Top 5 UK stocks

UK Stocks Now Attractive

The UK’s stocks and bonds are attracting strong investment interest, marking a sign of a thaw in the investment freeze in British markets due to last year’s economic disruptions. The blue-chip FTSE 100 stock index is near record highs, driven by global trends such as China’s economy reopening, while ten-year government bond yields are down 27 basis points in 2023 to 3.4%. This marks a turnaround from the turmoil caused by the previous administration’s mini budget in September, which temporarily pushed UK bond yields above those of Italy and Greece. The FTSE 100 has bounced 18% from its 18-month lows and the domestically-focused FTSE 250 is up 20% since mid-October. The FTSE 100 is dominated by firms with most revenue from abroad and has received a boost from the reopening of China’s economy and a surge in energy prices. Meanwhile, UK government bonds have outperformed their US and German peers and are attracting bond investors due to the Bank of England’s prediction of a fall in headline inflation to 3% by early 2024. Analysts, however, expect the FTSE 100’s rise to stall with a stronger global growth outlook combined with waning energy inflation.
