FTSE 100 movers: GSK gains on Hengrui Pharma partnership; BT falls

(Sharecast News) - London's FTSE 100 was down 0.7% at 9,058.63 in afternoon trade on Monday. GSK gained as it entered into a partnership with Chinese pharmaceutical outfit Hengrui Pharma to jointly develop up to 12 medicines, in a deal that could be worth up to $12bn.

The pharmaceuticals group said in a statement that the agreement provides it with new growth opportunities beyond 2031.

BT Group was the biggest loser on the index, having surged last Thursday on the back of a trading statement in which it hailed a "solid" start to the year.
