[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images The FTSE 100 index of stocks hasn’t picked up a head of steam so far in July. Up only 0.6% since the start of the month, action has been muted among Britain’s UK blue-chips as uncertainty over US trade policy lingers. That’s not to say the situation can’t change, of course.
