FTSE 100 Live: London blue-chips close up seven points, Kingfisher dives, oil at $95

A profit warning by B&Q owner Kingfisher and robust trading figures from Ocado provided the main interest in the FTSE 100 today.

Traders are also watching oil prices amid fears that a 10-month high for Brent Crude will cause interest rates to stay high for longer.

Other companies reporting today include Hargreaves Lansdown, TUI, Trustpilot, Moonpig and Naked Wines.
