Frasers Group jumped as it said it planned an £80m share buyback programme.

Storage specialist Big Yellow fell even as it reported a rise in first-quarter sales as cost cutting offset a slight fall in occupancy. Like-for-like revenue rose 2% to £52.m in the three months to 30 June, with occupancy down 0.2 percentage points to 79.2%.

Ithaca Energy rose in line with a spike in oil prices amid more exchanges of fire between Iran and the US. Conversely, low-cost airline Wizz Air fell on the prospect of higher fuel costs.
