Market overview: Footsie slump rounds of tough week
Friday 04 Jul 2008
1630: Footsie finished the week on a low, with insurance companies dragging the index down.
Friends Provident led the insurance sector lower on reports that pensions group Swiss Life is no longer interested in buying Lombard, FP’s high end insurance unit. Legal and General, Old Mutual and Standard Life also fell back.
Fashion retailer Next shrugged off the woes its peer Marks and Spencer after broker Sanford Bernstein said it preferred the stock at present to M&S. Elsewhere in the retailing sector supermarkets were wanted, after Waitrose said sales in the week to 28 June were up 3%. Tesco, Morrison’s and Sainsbury are all firmer, the latter after the Qatar Investment Authority increased its stake to 26%.
