FTSE 100 under pressure as BT pushed lower

UK stocks fell on Friday, with a decline in shares of telecom heavyweight BT after its earnings report helping pull the blue-chips market toward a weekly loss, MarketWatch reports.

The FTSE 100 index declined 0.4% to 7,413.16, with less than 10 components moving higher. The blue-chips benchmark was on track for a weekly decline of 0.5%, which would be the first loss in four weeks.
