  UK shares dropped on Friday, with both the blue-chip and midcap indexes set for weekly declines, as growing uncertainty around U.S. trade policy kept investors cautious on equities.

The FTSE 100, London's premier stock index, is poised for its worst weekly performance of 2025, driven by a volatile reaction to the U.S. decision to impose new tariffs on Chinese imports, which has led to significant market uncertainty. This week's downturn is exacerbated by a stronger pound, which has negatively impacted the value of overseas earnings for many FTSE 100 companies. Additionally, the market has been influenced by broader economic concerns, including potential retaliatory measures from China and the ongoing global economic recovery from the effects of the global health crisis. The combination of these factors has led to a sharp decline in investor confidence, overshadowing any positive economic indicators and contributing to a turbulent week for the index.
