(Sharecast News) – London’s FTSE 100 was down 0.1% at 7,266.53 in afternoon trade on Tuesday, held back by a strong pound.
Land Securities was the top gainer, having fallen on Monday after HSBC double downgraded the shares to ‘reduce’ as it said UK property stocks were facing a “precarious” situation in the near to medium term.
Flutter Entertainment was also on the rise for the second day in a row after an upbeat note from Jefferies on Monday.
Miners were higher, with Antofagasta and Rio Tinto both up.
