LONDON, April 7 (Xinhua) -- The FTSE 100 plunged 4.38 percent on Monday, shedding 352.90 points to close at 7,702.08 points, extending last week's losses as escalating concerns over U.S. tariff policy weighed heavily on investor sentiment and triggered broad-based selloff across the market.

The FTSE 100 opened in negative territory, tumbling as much as 6 percent to an intraday low of 7,556.03 - its lowest level since February 2024.
