Proactive - Interviews for investors

The FTSE 100 dipped as the trading week got underway.

Leading Monday’s reporters was Moneysupermarket, which unveiled a double-digit rise in revenue, spearheaded by its exposure to the insurance market.

However, it was weekend news which dominated this morning, with Curry’s skyrocketing on now-confirmed rumours that JD.com is readying a takeover offer for the electricals retailer.

Alongside this, Royal Mail parent IDS moved higher on reports the firm could slow delivery of hospital post and legal letters in a cost-saving drive, meanwhile.

And finally elsewhere, AIM-listed KEFI Gold jumped after the firm announced its joint venture partner had made a third discovery in the broader Hawiah district in Saudi Arabia.
