19th Jul 2010 14:57

Footsie has made a strong start to the week helped by financials and miners. Standard Chartered and RBS are strong as are a number of miners including Xstrata and Rio Tinto. International Power is the best performer after French energy giant GDF Suez revived talks with the international electricity generator about a partnership to create a new London-listed electricity group. The deal would involve a combination of their businesses outside Europe and certain assets in the UK and Turkey.BP is lower because of concerns that oil may be seeping out in other places following the fitting of the cap that's stopped oil leaking from its broken well in the Gulf of Mexico. The cost of dealing with the spill is near to $4bn (£2.6bn).FTSE 100 - RisersInternational Power (IPR) 350.80p +10.73%Invensys (ISYS) 274.20p +3.35%Standard Chartered (STAN) 1,753.00p +2.75%Xstrata (XTA) 929.50p +2.30%Rio Tinto (RIO) 3,064.00p +1.96%Cobham (COB) 239.20p +1.92%Antofagasta (ANTO) 918.50p +1.72%Vedanta Resources (VED) 2,237.00p +1.54%Royal Bank of Scotland Group (RBS) 44.33p +1.42%Anglo American (AAL) 2,371.00p +1.39%FTSE 100 - FallersBP (BP.) 390.15p -4.18%Associated British Foods (ABF) 1,030.00p -2.46%Prudential (PRU) 515.50p -1.25%Johnson Matthey (JMAT) 1,595.00p -1.18%Cable & Wireless Worldwide (CW.) 83.80p -1.06%Capita Group (CPI) 744.00p -0.67%Autonomy Corporation (AU.) 1,884.00p -0.63%Sage Group (SGE) 234.90p -0.59%Scottish & Southern Energy (SSE) 1,186.00p -0.50%Randgold Resources (RRS) 5,940.00p -0.50%
