Symbol for FTSE main index

[John Ross]

Can somebody please help me finding the FTSE 100 INDEX (^FTSE) in Yahoo - FTSE - Financial Time UK cash index. I have the $CAC and the $DAXI but cannot find the FTSE.

Thank you.

Hi John,

The symbol is $UKX-FTSE. It's under FTSE Indicies on this page of our Symbol Look-up ( albeit buried in a long list ).

You will need to subscribe to FTSE Index Values ( click on the European/African Region on that page ) in case that's not already active on your account. You can add it yourself using Account Maintenance.

We are working towards a searchable symbol look-up engine for next year so that should greatly help find symbols among our 600,000 ( and growing! ) database of syms.

Thanks.
