FTSE 100 movers: StanChart jumps on US court ruling; miners fall

(Sharecast News) - London's FTSE 100 was 0.2% higher at 9,327.34 in afternoon trade on Friday. Standard Chartered jumped to the top of the index after the bank welcomed what it described as a favourable filing from the US Department of Justice in a long-running civil case involving allegations of sanctions breaches.

The bank said the DoJ's latest position in the so-called 'Brutus' case confirmed that the claims, first brought by a former employee and his associates more than a decade ago, were "false" and repeatedly dismissed by US courts.

Housebuilders Berkeley and Persimmon were also in the black, having slumped earlier in the week after a hotter-than-expected UK consumer price inflation reading for July spelled bad news for mortgages.

On the downside, heavily-weighted miners fell, with Anglo American, Antofagasta and Glencore all lower.
