How markets are moving: The FTSE 100 index rose 0.2% to 7,550.82, with utility and consumer services groups leading advancers. But the healthcare and tech sectors were in the red. The London benchmark on Monday rose 0.6%, but underperformed stronger gains across Europe as the pound strengthened against the dollar and other rivals.
