Nov 5 (Reuters) - Gains for oil company shares pushed
London's FTSE 100 into the black on Tuesday, helped by a
prediction that OPEC would supply a shrinking portion of global
supply, while Primark owner Associated British Foods
jumped 5% after strong results.

The FTSE 100 gained 0.2% by 0810 GMT, hovering close
to a one-month high it touched in the previous session, while
the mid-cap index was 0.1% higher.

Oil majors Shell and BP, which fell last
week after reporting falls in profit, were the biggest boost to
the main index, opening higher and extending gains after OPEC
said it expected to supply a diminishing amount of oil in the
next five years in the face of competition from U.S. shale and
other rival sources.

A.B.Foods headed for its best day in more than 10
months after it posted higher annual earnings and said it was
well-positioned for further earnings growth in the new year.

Hopes that Washington and Beijing were on course to sign
some form of trade deal continued to help the index.

Miners, one of the sectors most exposed to the tensions due
to their dependence on Chinese demand, reached a
near 2-month high, also helped by a rise in copper prices driven
by a cut in forecasts by Chilean-focussed Antofagasta.

A mixed set of results pushed tobacco company Imperial
Brands marginally higher after a volatile morning.

While sales for the year topped market expectations, the
tobacco firm guided to low-single digit revenue and profit
growth for the year amid a regulatory crackdown on vaping in the
United States.

Among mid-caps, gambling and related firms fell for a second
straight day after lawmakers called for a raft of measures to
overhaul online casinos. William Hill, Rank Group
and Playtech lost between 2.5%-4.4%.
