RBS and Barclays have also fallen back.Medical devices firm Smith & Nephew is wanted after said first quarter revenue rose to $1.055bn from $995m the year before, boosted by progress at its US knee franchise.Spirits group Diageo isn't too far behind after it registered 7% organic net sale growth in the first quarter of 2011, even though Europe remained a drag on sales.Supermarket group Morrison saw shares rise after total sales grew by 4.2% during the 13 weeks to 1 May.
