FTSE 100 & 250 movers in focus:

----------

International Consolidated Airlines Group SA, up 6.5% at 434.00 pence, 12-month range 302.65p-464.28p. Airlines climb amid hopes for a deal between the US and Iran. Tehran says it has not reached a final decision on a deal to end the Middle East war, despite US President Donald Trump claiming an agreement could be signed in days and cancelling threatened strikes on Iran. Airlines have been hit by the war, which has pushed up fuel prices and cut travel to the Middle East. Wizz Air also rises on the FTSE 250 index.

----------

Antofagasta PLC, up 5.2% at 4,058.00p, 12-month range 1,675.50p-4,475.00p. The miner rises as the price of metals climbs. Gold increases to USD4,221.05 an ounce early on Friday from USD4,079.75 late Thursday.

----------

Barclays PLC, up 4.8% at 470.48p, 12-month range 315.50p-554.10p. The London-based bank announces that its UK subsidiary Barclays Bank UK has entered into an agreement to buy GoHenry from Acorns Grow, with completion of the acquisition expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2026. GoHenry is a money management platform for 6-18-year-olds. Barclays expects the acquisition to reduce its common equity tier 1 ratio by about 5 basis points upon completion, based on its CET1 ratio as of March 31. The transaction will not affect financial guidance or targets for Barclays Group or Barclays UK 2026 or 2028, it adds.

----------

BP PLC, down 4.3% at 521.90p, 12-month range 362.00p-609.40p. The London-based oil major falls as the price of oil retreats on the latest news from the Middle East. Brent crude was trading lower at USD86.53 a barrel on Friday morning from USD92.95 on Thursday. Peers Shell, Ithaca Energy and Harbour Energy also fall.

----------

Persimmon PLC, up 5.0% at 1,067.75p, 12-month range 1,012.00p-1,552.00p. Housebuilders rise as a potential deal to end the war in the Middle East could ease pressure on construction material and supply chain costs. The outlook for housebuilders has been clouded by the ongoing conflict. Peer Vistry leads the FTSE 250 index.
