What the positive change means
The daily change compares the displayed level with the previous close. It does not say every constituent rose, and the capture does not establish which company or event caused the move. The high and low are session-range fields shown at observation, not a forecast or a guarantee that the range is final.
The index is measured in points. It is not the pound price of an ETF unit or a FTSE futures contract. A tracker’s price and return should not be substituted for the cash benchmark simply because it appears on the same page.
