3 UK Penny Stocks With Market Caps Up To £200M
Reviewed by Simply Wall St
The UK market has recently experienced some turbulence, with the FTSE 100 closing lower due to weak trade data from China, highlighting global economic interdependencies. Despite these challenges, investors often seek opportunities in various segments of the market, including penny stocks.
