SSE, Standard Life and Lloyds were all higher for the same reason.
SABMiller was higher after Nomura upgraded the brewing group from 'reduce' to 'neutral' and raised its target for the shares from 2,850p to 3,600p.
However, the heavyweight mining sector was limiting the upside on UK markets, with Randgold Resources, Rio Tinto, BHP Billiton and Anglo American among the worst performers. Randgold was extending losses made the previous session after gold prices touched an eight-month low.
Wolseley was in negative territory after Jefferies International retained its 'underperform' rating on the stock and cut its target price from 2,760p to 2,630p.
