What is the FTSE 250?
The FTSE 250 tracks the performance of the next 250 largest companies after the FTSE 100. It's considered a good gauge of the UK economy's health because these mid-sized companies are often more focused on the domestic market. Its recent climb suggests a positive outlook for UK businesses.
