BRUSSELS/FRANKFURT/PARIS (dpa-AFX) - U.K. stocks traded lower on Friday as
chancellor Jeremy Hunt delivers a speech on the state of the economy ahead of

to fund the opposition party's spending pledges.
The benchmark FTSE 100 was down 26 points, or 0.3 percent, at 8,412 after
finishing marginally lower on Thursday.
In corporate news, property development firm Land Securities fell 2.3 percent
after annual earnings from rental income dropped to £371 million from £393
million in 2023.
Consumer goods giant Unilever rose half a percent after launching its ¤1.5bn
share buyback program.
