LONDON (ShareCast) - Full-year profits are expected to have risen 50% at London Stock Exchange, helped by high trading volumes.

Cable and Wireless’s full-year results are expected to show higher profits despite a fall in revenues. Its results will also be watched for details about a possible break-up between its UK and international arms.

Daily Mail and General Trust, which publishes the Daily Mail newspaper, delivers first half results. They are expected to benefit from growth in national advertising.

Currency printer De La Rue reports full-year results. Analysts are tipping it to update on disposals of non-core assets, possibly including its stake in Camelot.

Mothercare’s final results are tipped to show no let-up in sales of its baby products, with profits up 50%.

However, the retail sector as a whole may not be so cheery, with Office of National Statistics figures expected to show slower sales during April.
