FTSE 100 index outlook feb 24 2012, uk stock market feb 24 2012 : Britain's FTSE 100 index is seen opening up 11-17 points, or 0.3 percent on Friday, according to financial bookmakers, extending the previous session's advance in tandem with gains on Wall Street and in Asia after upbeat U.S. data fuelled hopes the world's biggest economy could help the global growth picture.

The UK blue chip index closed up 21.34 points, or 0.4 percent on Thursday at 5,937.89, supported by the U.S. data, better economic news from Germany and some robust corporate earnings.
