TODAY’S FACTORS AND EVENTS
London stocks fell further into the red on Thursday, taking their cue from a sell-off on Wall Street amid rising government bond yields in the States, despite higher takeover offers boosting Sky and Shire.
Nevertheless, while the FTSE 100 was down 0.62% to 7,379.32, it did manage to finish off its lows of the session.
In parallel, the pound was again lower, trading off by 0.3% against the dollar at 1.3936 but was 0.17% higher versus the euro to 1.1446.
Ten-year Gilts on the other hand were little changed, with their yield repeating for another day at 1.1446%.
