In the realm of individual stocks, Entain experienced a 2% increase following the appointment of Ricky Sandler as a non-executive director. Similarly, GSK Plc witnessed a nearly 2% boost, thanks to an upgraded rating from Jefferies. On the flip side, the precious metal mining sector saw a 0.7% decline. In a broader economic context, the Institute of Directors (IoD) confidence index revealed a growing sense of pessimism and caution among British business leaders, particularly regarding investment decisions.
