I don't think wide stock-market indices are supposed to wiggle with that sort of frequency; I assume it's a Bug at FTSE, since the charts from the BBC and Yahoo are essentially identical, but someone in London must be running around like a headless chicken trying to sort this out.

It seems to be correct; there's corroborating news. The dollar has finally started its fall.

You appear to assume correctly. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7083851.stm

Wow. That's so bizarre. I have never seen anything like that, ever. It must be a bug, but even so, that's a lot of money to be messed around with by a computer system that's supposed to be reliable. I wonder if some people cleaned up, and if so, whether they'll be investigated?

Yes, I was wishing I was at home to take advantage. What is odd is, it was clear which stock was screwing with the FTSE100, but the 250 was the same.

I was impressed by the way it kept within a tight band!

Hey, that looks like the temperature in our dome.

Maybe they have a wire loose under the floor too?
