The FTSE 100 fell 0.2% on Friday after reaching a record high on Thursday, driven by weakness in commodities. Losses were seen in miners and oil majors, with Rio Tinto down 2.2% and Shell down 0.7%. Precious metals producers also declined as gold and silver prices paused. Despite the dip, the FTSE remains up approximately 0.9% for the week, marking its third consecutive week of gains.
