The indices of the largest London-listed companies ended today in positive territory – just. Both the FTSE 100 and 250 finished the first session of the week up by less than half a percent.
There were post-lockdown lifts for some leisure-focused stocks, including Intercontinental Hotel Group and Whitbread, both of which were among the leading names in the FTSE 100.
In the FTSE 250 there was a 5.25% jump for Restaurant Group, the company behind Wagamama and Frankie & Benny’s.
Monday’s biggest real estate rise echoed Friday, with developer One Heritage Group up by 13.7% to a new all-time high of 70.5p.
Shares in St Modwen lost some of their gains from last week, when they surged past a recommended takeover bid from Blackstone. They ended the day down by 0.9% at 545p, now only three pence above the takeover bid.
