The FTSE 100 finished slightly higher on Friday and ended the week modestly up, though trading stayed within a narrow plus-or-minus 0.5% band as investors remained cautious about whether a lasting agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz would hold. Precious metals miners led the gains, with Fresnillo up 5.3% and Endeavour 4.1%, while Rio Tinto and Anglo American added about 1% to 1.5%. Diageo rose more than 3%, extending Thursday's 5.6% gain after its restructuring announcement, and JD Sports gained more than 2% after appointing Peter Agnefjäll as chairman from September 1. Shell and BP fell as oil prices fluctuated and stayed lower for the week. Lloyds said UK house prices were unchanged in July, leaving annual growth at 0.1%, the weakest pace since November 2023, while weaker U.S. jobs data reduced expectations of a Federal Reserve rate hike next month.
