Why is business so important to the country’s economy?

Business and commerce are important to a country’s economy. It is what brings the money in. Because businesses provide both goods and services they drive the local community. And of course employment and opportunities for citizens. A few big businesses or a growing supplier can often transform the fate of local communities.
 
London has many Business hubs. For instance, some of the most famous ones are in ‘Canary Wharf’ and the ‘Square Mile’. They have a global impact as well as local. Companies create job opportunities because they need a workforce to produce and sell their goods.
 
We monitor, we track, we analyse and we bring on experts to evaluate all the business news and developments. To keep you informed and that you can digest all the information you need daily or weekly. We prepare it for you at your pace, so you can easily digest the news in the formats you like.

Business Briefing UK

We are connected directly to the financial market in the UK. With all the latest information from The London Stock Exchange – connected to all Indices like the FTSE100 FTSE500 FTSE 250 and FTSE350.

The London Stock Exchange, the biggest in Europe and one of the most important global financial exchanges in the world.

The London Stock Exchange (LSE) is arguably one of the most important exchanges globally. The LSE is the primary stock exchange in the U.K. and the largest in Europe.

The LSE provides many indices which are used to gain an oversight of markets, capitalisation and underlying performance in the economy. What this means in general terms is that the global investors monitor these indices in order to test and monitor the potential for investment and businesses fertility within the UK markets.

Financial Times Stock Exchange FTSE100

The Financial Times Stock Exchange 100 Index, also called the FTSE 100 Index, FTSE 100, FTSE, or, informally, the “Footsie”  is a share index of the 100 companies listed on the London Stock Exchange with the highest market capitalisation. It is seen as a measure of prosperity for businesses in the UK. But it isn’t the only index that is monitored. You also have the FTSE500 which is generally always quoted alongside the FTSE100.

We are always monitoring the top 10 Risers and top 10 Fallers – you can View the Price on our market index.

You can, of course, monitor the FTSE100 on the London Stock Exchange website, however, we also provide the analysis as to why the market has moved in certain ways.

The Opening Ceremony at the London Stock Exchange

A very popular weekly ritual at the London Stock Exchange is the Market’s Opening Ceremony and a variety of global guests are often invited to open trading and close it. Each week you can monitor this at WTX News to stay up to date with who opened trading this week.

The LSE opening ceremony where guests and companies are invited to ring the bell on the trading floor.

Opening Trading in London is often done by CEO’s of FTSE500 companies and major financial players.
