The weakest were Healthcare (−2.0%), Metals & Mining (−0.6%), Fast Moving Consumer Goods (−0.5%). Group averages hide wide differences between members; the sector pages list every stock.

The largest was EIHOTEL at 89% delivery, 1.7× its usual level, on a ▼ down 0.2% close. There were also 14 churn days, where volume ran at least 2× normal but under 30% of it was taken for delivery.
