FTSE 100 movers: Energy firms gush higher; Auto Trader lifted by upgrade

(Sharecast News) - London's FTSE was up 1.1% at 7,249.41 in afternoon trade on Monday. Energy firms Harbour Energy, BP and Shell all gushed higher as oil prices rose amid supply concerns. AJ Bell investment director Russ Mould said: "Oil supplies have been watched closely in recent weeks amid concerns about a slowdown in the global economy.

"Fundamentally supplies continue to be tight and there is still enough economic activity to stop oil prices slumping. However, lingering recession fears could act as a ceiling on the oil price so we might not see the black stuff race ahead in value too much from current levels."

Auto Trader was also in the black, with traders pointing to an upgrade to 'buy' at Peel Hunt.
