Why the FTSE 100 keeps hitting new all-time highs

The FTSE 100 is approaching fresh all-time highs but why is the UK stock market rising despite political uncertainty, high government borrowing costs and ongoing global conflicts?

In this video, AJ Bell Investment Director Russ Mould explores the factors driving the FTSE 100 higher and explains why markets don't always move in line with the news headlines.

Combined with attractive valuations, these factors help explain why UK equities continue to attract investor interest.

• Why the FTSE 100 is hitting record highs.
• How valuations influence long-term market performance.
• Why overseas earnings matter for UK companies.
• The importance of dividends and share buybacks.
