Trump jitters see £76bn wiped off FTSE 100 in worst week since January

Fears of a Donald Trump election victory have seen the FTSE 100 suffer its worst week since January, wiping £76bn off the value of its constituent companies. Investors, fearing a Trump presidency could usher in major uncertainty and damage global trade, have been spooked by signs of a narrowing poll lead for Hillary Clinton, seen as a continuity candidate. The negative sentiment saw the FTSE 100 close 97 points down at 6693 points to complete a gloomy week.
