LONDON (MarketWatch) -- U.K. stocks nudged up Wednesday, making an effort toward reaching a new record high, but a downgrade of Barclays PLC was weighing on the banking heavyweight's shares.
The FTSE 100 rose 0.1% to 7,026.87, aided by gains for consumer-services and goods shares, as well as mining issues, including a 0.8% gain for Rio Tinto PLC (RIO) .
TUI topped the FTSE 100, gaining 2% as the tourism company said its winter 2014/15 season wrapped up as it had expected, with higher average-selling prices in most of its markets. It said for this summer, bookings and average-selling prices are each up 1%. The demand for its own holiday packages account for 74% of summer bookings, higher by three percentage points from the year-ago period.
But shares of Barclays PLC fell 0.8% following a downgrade to hold from buy at Investec. The "valuation case is no longer overwhelming in the context of our deteriorating expectations for the scale and pace of [return on equity] recovery," wrote analyst Ian Gordon in a note.
The FTSE 100 on Tuesday (http://www.marketwatch.com/story/ftse-100-grips-onto-record-high-but-centrica-shares-lag-2015-03-24) had been on track to surpasses its previous record closing high of 7,037.67, but reversed course toward the end of the session and lost 0.3%.
