London’s FTSE 100 was up 0.4% at 7,146.86 in afternoon trade on Wednesday.
Just Eat Takeaway was the standout gainer ahead of its removal from the top-flight index on Thursday in the quarterly reshuffle, after the index’s watchdog ruled it was a Dutch rather than UK company.
Miners were on the back foot as metals prices fell, with Antofagasta, BHP, Rio Tinto and Anglo American all weaker.
