Positive tones as European markets get underway 4 Oct

  • FTSE +0.65% near session highs as GBP falls. Exporters finding favour.
  • DAX +0.55%
  • CAC40 +0.45%
  • FTMIB +0.5%
  • IBEX + 0.5%

FTSE now at highest level (7032.56) since May 2015

I don't quite get the exporter/lower GBP correlation so strongly as others . Many of our exporters have to ship in raw materials to make their finished exported product so it's a double-edged sword.
