FTSE 100 movers: Oil majors gush higher again; Persimmon goes ex-div
(Sharecast News) - London's FTSE 100 was down 0.3% at 8,817.47 in afternoon trade on Thursday as the Bank of England stood pat on interest rates, as expected. Oil majors BP and Shell gushed higher again.
Matt Britzman, senior equity analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown, said: "Oil prices are in a holding pattern as markets wait for clarity on possible US involvement in the Israel-Iran conflict. While the White House stayed vague after President Trump met with advisers, any direct action could escalate tensions and threaten vital energy routes like the Strait of Hormuz.
"Despite the pullback, prices remain near five-month highs, supported by ongoing geopolitical risk and the Fed's signal of potential rate cuts later this year."
Elsewhere, Vodafone advanced as it announced the appointment of Pilar Lopez as chief financial officer designate effective 1 October. She will succeed Luka Mucic, whose departure was announced in May.
On the downside, Persimmon and United Utilities both lost ground as they traded without entitlement to the dividend.
