UK100 shows relative trend movement of the top 1 hundred stocks in UK. In general the share value of the top 1 hundred companies will keep heading upwards, hence this stock index also will over time keep moving upwards. Should a corporate not meet required business expansion targets, the company will be removed from the index & replaced with an alternative corporate that has better growth prospects.

As a trader wanting to trade this stock index, general direction at any one time will more likely be bullish than bearish. This is because as long as these 100 companies that are being tracked & monitored are doing booming business, then their stock value will keep moving upward, and hence this index will also keep heading and moving in an upwards market trend.

As a indices trader you want to be biased and keep on buying as the index moves & heads upwards. When UK economy is doing good (majority of the times it is doing good) this upwards trend is much more likely to be in place.
