The FTSE 100 is flat on the week. The S&P 500 is up 0.5% and the Stoxx 600 is up 0.87% making the Stoxx the best performer for the past two weeks as it plays catch up with the others on the year to date numbers; which currently stand at FTSE 100 up 17.73%, S&P 500 up 16.85% and the Stoxx 600 up 13.63%.
