Investors saw the FTSE 100 to finish on a low note this week after a couple of flat days, with fast starts resulting in sell-offs across a few days of late. That’s despite great financial results for the likes of Rolls Royce and several financial institutions, while in the States most of the rising markets have concerned tech firms. All fell on Friday though, with the announcement of a new raft of tariff rates.
Domestically, the government announced plans to push through changes regarding late payment to small firms, which could see others businesses fined. Overseas, the US have agreed an extension for finding a trade deal with Mexico, as Donald Trump’s original tariff deadline arrives today.
