What governs the 'Footsie?.'(factors affecting Financial Times Stock Exchange 100 stock index)

Article Abstract:

The Financial Times Stock Exchange 100 stock index (Footsie) is a weighted average of the stock prices of the biggest 100 British firms, using a base date from 1984. The biggest weighting is given to GlaxoWellcome, while Dixons has the smallest weighting. There are other British indexes, and national stock markets each have their own index, such as the US Dow Jones Industrial Average. Footsie could indicate that stock markets are expensive, though low inflation and other factors may justify high stock prices. Efficient market theorists see markets as pricing correctly. Problems in world economies could lead to a drop in the Footsie of 25% by 2000.
