The FTSE 100 closed about 0.4% down at 9,717 on Friday, pulling back from Thursday’s record high and ending a nine-day winning streak. Traders weighed a busy week of corporate earnings, economic data and central bank decisions. The one-year truce between the US and China on technology and trade also remained in the background. Meanwhile, investors looked ahead to next week’s Bank of England meeting, where policymakers are widely expected to keep rates on hold, though expectations of a rate cut are rising. On the business front, media and leisure stocks were among the top losers. WPP extended its losses, falling nearly 5%, after UBS cut its price target to 280p from 360p and maintained a ‘sell’ rating following weak Q3 results. Auto Trader slumped 3.5% as it said Catherine Faiers was stepping down as chief operating officer. Hotel operators Whitbread and InterContinental Hotels followed, each down 2.3%. The index rose 0.7% for the week and 3.9% for the month of October.
