SSP was under the cosh after a downgrade to ‘sell’ from ‘neutral’ at UBS. The bank said that mid-term consensus screens as stretched in light of upcoming headwinds.

Warehouse Reit was in focus after Blackstone Europe took a step closer to securing the property group, which backed an improved £489m takeover bid.

Cyclical stocks were lower after a surprise fall in UK GDP, with Marshalls, Vistry and Savills down.
