FTSE 100 Gains As Consumer Confidence Improves

(RTTNews) - U.K. stocks were moving higher on Friday as a survey showed British consumer confidence rebounded in February to its highest level in almost a year.

The benchmark FTSE 100 rose 24 points, or 0.3 percent, to 7,931 after declining 0.3 percent in the previous session on ex-dividend trades.

British Airways-owner IAG tumbled 3.3 percent as it announced deal for the remaining shares in Air Europa it did not already own.
