With nearly all the action taking place on the FTSE 250, there wasn’t a whole lot to write about for the top-flight index.
Banks were among the gainers, with Standard Chartered and NatWest both up.
BT Group gained after Ofcom said the door was open to the gradual deregulation of Openreach, but only if competition takes root.
Segro was trading higher for the second day in a row, having gained on Monday after saying it will develop a UK data centre for an existing client as part of its ongoing push into the booming sector. Segro said it has signed an agreement to develop a powered shell data centre on the Slough Trading Estate, Europe’s largest hub of data centres.
Miners Antofagasta and Glencore were also in the black as copper prices rose.
