FTSE 100 movers: Anglo American rallies; Bunzl in the red

(Sharecast News) - London's FTSE 100 was up 0.3% at 8,283.32 in afternoon trade on Thursday. Anglo American was in the black after the diversified mining giant raised platinum and nickel production guidance following a steady third quarter.

Barclays gained as it nudged up its net interest income guidance for the full year and said it is on track to deliver against its short and medium-term targets. The bank said it expects 2024 net interest income excluding investment bank and head office activities from around £11bn to be "greater than £11bn".

London Stock Exchange was a high riser as it hailed a particularly strong third quarter, with "healthy" growth in the subscriptions business.

Consumer goods giant Unilever rallied as it reported a jump in third-quarter underlying sales, underpinned by its power brands. Underlying sales grew 4.5%, coming in ahead of analysts' expectations for 4.2% growth, with volume growth up 3.6%.

Distribution and outsourcing firm Bunzl fell even as it said group revenue grew in the third quarter and reiterated its full-year guidance.

BAE Systems was in the red as it traded without entitlement to the dividend.
