LONDON (ShareCast) - Gold miners Centamin and Petropavlovsk were benefiting from bullish remarks from Nomura about the gold sector.

"Gold remains fundamentally supported by long-term trends", including increasing gold holdings within central bank reserves and strong Chinese demand.

Essar Energy, the India-focused integrated energy company, was in the red despite saying that the first of two 255MW units at its Vadinar Phase 2 power plant has been synchronised with the transmission grid.

Industrial property specialist Segro fell after selling four ”non-core” industrial estates for £204.5m.
