The FTSE 100 stock index ended up trading 0.24% higher, bolstered by gains in retail and rate-sensitive real estate and homebuilder stocks. This turnaround came despite an earlier 0.7% drop ahead of the Bank of England's (BoE) interest rate decision, which reflected market uncertainty as investors awaited the central bank's announcement.

The environmental and analysis unit provides high-tech solutions in areas such as water and waste water analysis and treatment, gas analysis and detection. It also stuck by its full-year return on sales and revenue outlook and expects good organic revenue growth for the first-half.
