The UK100, or FTSE 100, is the primary stock market index of the United Kingdom, comprising 100 large-cap companies listed on the London Stock Exchange. It serves as a barometer of the health of the British economy and broader European markets, with daily trading volumes exceeding billions of pounds. The index includes multinational giants across banking, energy, pharmaceuticals, and consumer goods, making it one of the most liquid and widely traded indices globally.
UK100 price movements are driven by multiple factors including Bank of England monetary policy decisions, UK economic data (inflation, employment, GDP), corporate earnings reports, and macroeconomic sentiment across Europe and the United States. Currency fluctuations between GBP and USD also significantly impact the index, as many FTSE 100 constituents generate substantial revenue in foreign currencies. Geopolitical events and risk appetite shifts further influence volatility and directional trends.
At GCC Brokers, UK100 is available for CFD trading with automatic execution and no manual intervention on every trade. Trade UK100 on both Standard and Zero accounts with leverage set per account (the margin is shown in the specifications above), on the UK's main equity benchmark.
The London Stock Exchange cash session runs 08:00–16:30 London time, Monday through Friday. GCC Brokers offers extended weekday trading hours for UK100 CFDs; the exact hours, in server time, are in the specifications above. Please check your trading platform for any holiday closures.
Spreads are variable and depend on market conditions and your account. Standard and Pro have no commission, and Pro has tighter spreads; Zero has raw spreads plus a commission. The live spread is shown on this page. Positions held overnight are charged or credited a swap, shown in the specifications.
UK100 is primarily influenced by Bank of England interest rate decisions, UK inflation and employment data, FTSE 100 constituent earnings, and broader European economic sentiment. Sterling strength or weakness versus major currencies also plays a significant role, as do global risk appetite shifts, US economic data, and geopolitical developments. Central bank communications and quarterly corporate earnings announcements typically create the most notable volatility.
UK100 carries a fixed margin rate, shown on this page and on the Margin schedule page; it stays the same whatever your account leverage. Leverage amplifies both gains and losses, so size positions carefully.
UK100 is liquid and moves on economic data and corporate news, so it is used for both short-term and swing trading. Many traders focus on the London and US market opens and on economic announcements. Slippage is symmetric, so price improvements are passed on as well as slippage.
