Sharecast - Antofagasta (LON:ANTO) and Anglo American (LON:AAL) lost ground as miners were hit by worries about China’s growth outlook.
On the upside, Next (LON:NXT) surged after the retailer upgraded its full-year sales and profit guidance following much better-than-expected trading in the last seven weeks, pointing to warmer weather and the impact of pay rises.
The company lifted its full-price sales guidance by £137m and its profit guidance by £40m to £835m.
In an unscheduled trading update, Next said full price sales in the first seven weeks of the second quarter were up 9.3% versus last year, versus guidance for a 5% decline. The group said that during the period, it has beaten its full price sales estimates by £93m.
Next put its outperformance down to a change to warmer weather, which it said has made a "significant difference", particularly coming after a wet and cold April.
Primark owner AB Foods also rallied, along with JD Sports and Frasers Group.
Elsewhere, Ladbrokes owner Entain (LON:ENT) was boosted by an upgrade to ‘buy’ at Redburn.
