FTSE 100 movers: Miners shine; HSBC up on new targets
FTSE 100: 7,772.84, +18.22 (0.23%).
With little corporate or economic news to drive sentiment, the FTSE 100 clung on to thin gains.
Precious metals miners were helped the blue chip index stay in the green, with Glencore and Anglo American making gains.
HSBC stock was up as it unveiled plans to boost revenues in its Asia business as it faces pressure from its top shareholder Ping An to improve performance across the region while pushing for a spin-off of its Asia business.
The bank told investors it was aiming for revenues in Asia's wealth business to grow by up to 9% in the next three to four year and targeted lending growth of around 15% in the medium- to long-term.
