FTSE 100 movers: Experian in the black; Vistry gives back some gains

(Sharecast News) - London's FTSE 100 was down 0.2% at 8,229.33 in afternoon trade on Friday. Credit-checking firm Experian was the top gainer on the index for no apparent reason.

Vistry was in the red, having rallied a day earlier as it announced a further £130m share buyback and posted a 7% increase in first-half pre-tax profit.

In the half year to 30 June, adjusted pre-tax profit rose to £186.2m from £174m in the same period a year earlier, with total completions up 9.1% to 7,792. Vistry hailed "good demand" across its Partner Funded markets.

Revenue was 11.1% higher at £1.97bn.

Heavily-weighted miners were also on the back foot, with Anglo American, Antofagasta and Glencore all down.
