Healthcare and energy shares support
Earlier in Friday's London session, healthcare and energy companies were among the main sources of strength. Reuters reported that the index was up 0.3% at 10,891.1 points by 11:04 GMT, with healthcare and energy-related companies providing the biggest boosts. BP and Shell gained about 1% each in that market update, while AstraZeneca and GSK also supported the benchmark.
Aviva update draws investor attention
Aviva was among the notable individual gainers after the insurer reported a 19% increase in general insurance premiums to 11.8 billion pounds for the first nine months of 2026. The company also reported a 31% rise in wealth net inflows to 10.9 billion pounds and maintained its full-year outlook, according to market coverage published by Reuters and reproduced by Investing.com. The update helped make insurers a notable feature of Friday's session.
Reuters said the FTSE 100 was on course for its strongest weekly performance in about a month. The index's Friday finish leaves investors focused on whether support from defensive healthcare companies, energy stocks and insurers can persist alongside continuing uncertainty in global technology markets.
