Man Group was among the fallers despite an increased price objective from analysts at Liberum Capital, from 145p to 213p.
Polymetal International and Kaz Minerals were putting in decent gains on hopes for stimulus in China. Kaz was boosted further by an upgrade from Credit Suisse analysts to ‘neutral’ in a report issued to investors.
Oil companies Soco International, Afren and Premier Oil were all tracking oil prices higher, while Nostrum Oil & Gas bucked the trend, topping the fallers.
Meanwhile oil services group Hunting topped the risers after being upgraded to ‘buy’ by Deutsche Bank.
