LONDON, Jan 13 (Reuters) - The pound slipped on Friday as the U.S. dollar found a footing after falling sharply on Thursday in the wake of December's U.S. inflation reading.

Sterling was down 0.3% against the dollar at 1300 GMT at $1.217, after rising as much as 0.2% earlier in the European session. The pound was giving back some of its gains after rising 0.5% on Thursday.

LONDON, Jan 13 (Reuters) - The pound rose on Friday against both the dollar and euro after data showed U.S. inflation cooled in December and the British economy beat expectations in November.

(Alliance News) - London's FTSE 100 index reached its best level since May 2018 on Friday, and even edged close to a record high, as European markets continued to climb after a report on Thursday showed slower US inflation.

There was also good news from the UK and German economies, while the early market response to US banking sector earnings was mixed.

The FTSE 100 was up 34.74 points, or 0.5%, at 7,828.78 midday Friday. The index's best-ever level is 7,903.50 points, achieved on May 22, 2018. A closing high of 7,877.45 was achieved that day.

Last year was a big turning point, whereby the UK was one of the few major markets around the world not to see a big slump. Now if the FTSE 100 breaks a new record, it's another trophy in the cabinet for the UK and a reason to shout from the hilltops that the market is not as dull as people think," AJ Bell analyst Russ Mould commented.
