SOURCE EVIDENCE

"The FTSE 100 ended the week on a positive note on Friday as data showed the UK private sector speeded up in August and a soaring gold price supported miners. The S&P Global flash composite purchasing managers' index rose to 52.5 points in August, a four-month high, from July's final tally of 52.2, beating FXStreet cited consensus of 51.6 points."
