Investors have many reasons to back away at the moment. Rising prices and higher interest rates are sure to hurt consumption while the war in Ukraine and the lockdowns in China are hampering global supplies and exacerbating inflation.
Few of these concerns are likely to be resolved soon. Interest rates are expected to keep rising until there is confidence that consumer prices are finally under control — something investors fear will result in an economic slump.
Miners Antofagasta, Glencore and Anglo American were among the worst-hit stocks. There was also a collapse in the share price of Fresnillo.
The top mover on the FTSE was Coca Cola up 14.9% and Compass Group, which rose 9.6% after beating expectations in the first half, upgrading its outlook for the full year, and announcing a half-billion-pound share buyback.
JD Sports, which set new profit guidance, ended the week up 6.4%, while B&Q owner Kingfisher, Sainsbury’s and B&M all saw strong showings.
