Why did the FTSE fall less?
London's FTSE 100 is less heavily weighted towards technology companies compared to the Nasdaq 100. It has a larger proportion of older industries like mining, oil, and banking. This structural difference means it's often less affected by tech-specific sell-offs, explaining its smaller drop today.
