Hi
Anybody know where i can download FTSE (100 or all share) closing indices (daily or weekly) going back 60 years or so,

Yahoo finance gives me data back to 2000 into excel.

Ideally for free of course !

thanks

The FTSE 100 wasn't around 60 years ago. It was started (IIRC) in 1984 at 1000.

The allshare index goes back to 1962 and started at 100.

Before the FTSE100 the most often quoted index was the FT30

Yahoo goes back to 1984 when FTSE100 started

You can easily data for the Dow back to the 1920's and the S&P500 back to the 1950's (from Yahoo etc) but I've not found any free sources for the UK All Share Index back to when it started.
