24th Jul 2026 14:04

(Sharecast News) - London's FTSE 100 was 0.7% higher at 10,717.09 in afternoon trade on Friday.

3i Group was a high riser again, having said on Thursday that its largest holding, Dutch discount retailer Action, delivered a strong financial performance in the first quarter. The stock was also boosted after UBS raised its target price to 3,200p from 2,900p.

Patrick Munnelly at Tickmill Group said; "The upgrade provided another stock-specific catalyst for financials and supported the broader market advance."

Relx ticked up, having gained a day earlier as the provider of information-based analytics and decision tools reaffirmed its full-year outlook and posted a rise in first-half revenue and profit.

On the downside, oil giants BP and Shell gushed lower as oil prices eased back after Brent crude breached $100 a barrel for the first time since May.
