Another bit of bid speculation - this time surrounding publishing and events group Informa. Earlier this month there was talk of private equity interest, with Carlyle and Apax both mentioned.
Today Informa's shares are up 15p to 370.25p on renewed talk of a possible takeover.
Overall the market is just about holding its gains, with the FTSE 100 currently 13.2 points higher at 6082.8. Housebuilders and banks are still unwanted, while commodities companies are generally heading higher.
Hedge fund group Man is among the biggest gainers, up 28.5p to 617p after it reported a 60% increase in annual profit.
Elsewhere there was speculative interest in Equator Exploration, 3p better at 15.25p.
