Many travel and tourism shares enjoyed a positive session yesterday as London’s equity markets pushed ahead.
The FSTE 100 index added 16.7 points to end the day at 4800.3, while the FTSE 250 had an even better day, gaining 44.2 points to close at 7020.3 – a four-year high point, according to The Guardian.
There were few significant moves, however, with the exception of Hilton, which put on 7.5p to close at 288.5p on rumours that one City broker had upgraded the stock to a “buy”.
