Read our privacy policy UK stock markets have started the month on the back foot, with a spike in Rightmove shares failing to lift the FTSE 100 into positive territory. The dip was despite shares in property portal Rightmove soaring by a quarter during the day after it emerged that Australia’s REA Group was considering making an offer for the firm. Meanwhile, car dealership group Vertu Motors cautioned that its half-year profits would come in lower than previously expected as demand for new cars and electric vehicles remains under pressure across the market.
