Silver miner Fresnillo, copper group Antofagasta and platinum specialist Lonmin were among the best performers. Hedge fund giant Man Group also went well helped by the rising markets. The share price of Home Retail has been back-pedalling rapidly since the Argos and Homebase owner released a trading update on Thursday but for those who have not already sold Pali International thinks the shares are worth holding at their current level. Some profit taking after the share's recent good run was inevitable, reckons Pali analyst Nick Bubb. The broker has raised its rating from 'underperform' to 'neutral' while expressing a preference for sector peer B&Q owner Kingfisher.FTSE 100 - RisersMan Group (EMG) 291.40p +8.89%Fresnillo (FRES) 735.50p +5.07%International Power (IPR) 293.40p +3.53%Autonomy Corporation (AU.) 1,439.00p +3.30%Lonmin (LMI) 1,722.00p +3.24%Marks & Spencer Group (MKS) 370.00p +3.21%BHP Billiton (BLT) 1,714.50p +2.97%Rio Tinto (RIO) 2,618.50p +2.89%FTSE 100 - FallersHome Retail Group (HOME) 293.00p -4.72%Burberry Group (BRBY) 479.80p -1.88%TUI Travel (TT.) 262.60p -1.80%BT Group (BT.A) 129.55p -1.63%Standard Life (SL.) 195.40p -1.46%Rolls-Royce Group (RR.) 465.30p -1.21%Shire Plc (SHP) 1,037.00p -1.14%Schroders (SDR) 1,141.00p -1.13%
