Tulow Oil was the company climbing the most, even though Credit Suisse Group downgraded its rating from "outperform" to "normal". Meanwhile, sectors that shrank the most were Health Care, Technology and Industrials by losing 1.56%, 0.83% and 0.72%, respectively. Among companies posting the biggest decline were John Wood Group, AstraZaneca and Evraz by erasing 3.97%, 3.24% and 2.92%, subsequently.
