FTSE 100 movers: Ocado rallies; Prudential gives back some gains

London’s FTSE 100 was up 0.2% at 7,486.30 in afternoon trade on Thursday.

Online supermarket Ocado was the top gainer on the index, closely followed by engine maker Rolls-Royce.

Glencore and Endeavour Mining were both in the red as they traded without entitlement to the dividend.

Asia-focused Prudential was on the back foot, having surged a day earlier after it posted a better-than-expected 6% rise in first-half operating profits as Chinese investors bought its products in Hong Kong after Covid restrictions were lifted. It also outlined a new investment strategy pivot towards Asia.
