FTSE 100 movers: Smiths rises; housebuilders hit by Deutsche note

(Sharecast News) - London's FTSE 100 was up 0.6% at 7,930.23 in quiet afternoon trade on Monday, amid a dearth of corporate news. Smiths Group was in the black, along with Weir, after Goldman Sachs reinstated coverage of the stocks at 'buy'.

On the downside, housebuilders slumped after a slew of downgrades by Deutsche Bank. It cut Barratt and Taylor Wimpey to 'hold' and Persimmon to 'sell'.
