Britain's main stock indexes ended the March quarter on a positive note as data confirmed that Britain's economy entered shallow recession in 2023, while JD Sports had its best day since April 2020 after confirming earnings guidance. The bluechip FTSE 100 rose 0.3% and the midcap FTSE 250 index was up 0.4% on the day, hitting over one-year highs earlier in the session, with the benchmark index logging its best month since November 2022. JD Sports jumped 15.6% to a near three-month high after the sportswear retailer said its pretax profit for the year to Feb. 4 would meet guidance it downgraded in January in the range of 915-935 million pounds ($1.16-$1.18 billion).
