TODAY’S FACTORS AND EVENTS

London stocks closed lower on Thursday despite a strong showing from banks and housebuilders as the pound rallied on news that a Brexit divorce bill has been agreed, with consumer borrowing figures in focus.

The FTSE 100 was down 0.90% to 7,393.56 as sterling rose 0.58% versus the euro to 1.1330 and 0.71% against the dollar to 1.3434, hitting its best level since the end of September. A stronger pound tends to dent the index, as around 70% of its constituents derive most of their earnings from overseas.
