UK blue chips have propelled the leading FTSE index to its best three months in its quarter-century history, fuelled by a flood of government liquidity and rising investor confidence. The FTSE 100, which closed down slightly on Wednesday at 5,133.9, has gained almost 21% since the end of June, outpacing any other quarterly rise since the index’s establishment in 1984. Since the rally began in early March, the index has gained 47.3% and analysts believe it can continue, albeit at a slower pace.
