Diversified Energy, Harbour Energy, Energean and Ithaca both fell in line with weaker oil prices after US President Donald Trump claimed a peace deal with Iran could be agreed by the weekend. However, Tehran insisted it had not reached a final decision on an agreement.

Defence company Qinetiq also fell as peace hopes rose. Wizz Air gained on the prospect of lower fuel costs and rotes re-opening to the region.
