FTSE 100 hit its highest in six weeks on Thursday after the European Central Bank signalled an end to its monetary tightening cycle, while industrial metal miners led the gains after a surge in iron ore prices. The exporter-heavy FTSE 100 index rose the most in over 10 months, soaring 2.0%. The midcap index mirrored the moves and was up 1.8%. The European Central Bank raised its key interest rate to a record high of 4% on Thursday but, with the euro zone economy in the doldrums, signalled that the hike, its 10th in a 14-month-long fight against inflation, was likely to be its last. «The focus is now shifting from how high policy rates get to how long they stay there,» said Ann-Katrin Petersen, Senior Investment Strategist at the BlackRock Investment Institute. «We see inflation remaining sufficiently high that the ECB will not cut until well into 2024 amid a tight labour market and subdued productivity.» Boosting sentiment, data from U.S.

Arm saw its share price jump 20 percent on the first day of trading on the Nasdaq stock exchange in New York on Thursday. Arm, whose semiconductor design is used in most smartphones worldwide, announced earlier this week that it was targeting a valuation of more than $52 billion for its initial public offering (IPO). Its shares opened up 10 percent and continued climbing in early trading, at one point rising 20 percent before settling up closer to 17 percent. Arm's high share price in early trading underscored enthusiasm for tech firms amid elevated interest in artificial intelligence. If Arm's shares close anywhere near its current share price at the end of the first day of trading, it will be valued at closer to $60 billion. The company, which is a world leader in smartphone chip design, is owned by the Japanese tech investor SoftBank, which has had a mixed record of success with its investments in recent years. The IPO of around 10 percent of the company's shares is expected to raise around $5 billion for SoftBank, which will retain ownership of the remaining 90 percent of the company's shares. «I want to keep as much as possible as long as possible,» SoftBank chief executive Masayoshi Son told CNBC on Thursday. «I'm a long term believer,» he added. Traders are looking at Arm's IPO as a barometer for other tech IPOs, which have stalled in recent years as the Covid-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine and higher interest rates lowered the appetite for riskier investments. If Arm's IPO does well, other companies may consider going public to raise funds, fueling fresh deal-making in the months ahead.

AU Small Finance Bank, which started its banking journey six summers ago with 95% secured loan assets and without any microfinance lineage, has now decided to explore the so-called bottom of the pyramid customer segment. The lender, while planning its own microfinance loan product, is also said to be exploring the acquisition route which would help it with a ready microfinance platform. «We remain open to the idea of inorganic growth,» executive director Uttam Tibrewal told ET, adding: «However, I can't comment on any media reports that suggest we are in discussion with somebody for a merger. We discuss so many things at our small finance bank forum.» Microfinance contributes a little over three-fourth of Fincare's outstanding portfolio of Rs 7600 crore. The management of AU believes that foraying into microfinance, which is essentially offering small loans to the economically weaker and largely under-banked customers without collateral, is a natural extension of its business strategy. Tibrewal said that about 70% of AU's lending is into the semi-urban and rural areas with over 90% priority sector portfolio.
