FTSE 100 movers: Home construction, Financial stocks pace gains

(Sharecast News) - Home construction stocks were pacing gains on the stock market at the end of the week, benefitting from the tail-wind of the Bank of England's policy meeting the day before, which saw rate-setters temper their outlook for interest rates. Berkeley Group Holdings, Barratt Developments and Taylor Wimpey were all near the top of the leaderboard.

So too was B&Q owner Kingfisher ahead of its results which were due out during the following week.

Yet the best performer on the top-flight index was Ocado, whose shares were bouncing back from the thrashing received during the previous session after the outfit warned of rising costs.

Financials, including Lloyds, for whom mortgage lending was a major money spinner, and London Stock Exchange also figured prominently among the risers.
