BOC BID TALK UNDERPINS FTSE 100
Strong rises by BOC Group and Scottish
Power helped underpin the FTSE 100
index. It closed down 1.7 at 5,326.8,
cutting gains on the week to 98.7.
Both are the latest targets of bid
speculation, with German giant BASF
seen a most likely predator for the
industrial gases group.
Drinks group Daigeo extended Thursd!y's
gains, while Cable & Wireless dipped on
an Ofcom probe of its broadband arm.
