The FTSE 250 was up 86.84 points, or 0.36%, at 23,905.58 on Wednesday, September 16, 2026. Yahoo Finance timestamped the delayed reading at 08:47:18 UTC, equivalent to 09:47:18 in London. The mid-cap index was still trading, so the figure records a morning position rather than the day’s final result.
Mid-caps hold near the top of the observed range
The vendor recorded an opening level of 23,818.88, only 0.14 point above Tuesday’s 23,818.74 close. The later snapshot was 86.70 points above that opening reading. This separates the nearly unchanged start from the positive move recorded during the cash session.
By the snapshot, the reported high was 23,917.08 and the low was 23,806.26, a span of 110.82 points. The quoted index value was 11.50 points below the high and 99.32 points above the low. In proportional terms, it stood about 90% of the way from the low to the high, showing a relatively firm position within the range available so far.
The previous close is also shown in dated historical data for September 15. Yahoo’s adjacent daily bar rounds that closing reference to one decimal place; the more precise two-decimal value is used consistently for the change calculation.
FTSE Russell’s description identifies the FTSE 250 as mid-capitalised companies outside the FTSE 100. It should therefore be tracked separately from London’s large-company benchmark. An index increase alone does not establish how many component shares rose or which business sectors supplied the advance.
For the rest of the session, the relevant checks are whether the index holds above Tuesday’s finish and whether the morning range expands. The vendor quote is delayed, and none of these observations establishes a full-session outcome or a price target.
