The FTSE 100 ended the day at 7,022.61 points, just marginally ahead of the 7,018 that the index was at a week earlier. The Paris-based Cac index rose by 0.8%. The lack of movement on the FTSE was matched by a lack of big news from listed companies in London. Despite concerns from some green groups, shareholders overwhelmingly backed HSBC’s new climate plan at its annual general meeting and its shares rose by a little over 1%. Shares rose 4.8%.
