London stocks mixed as markets brace for ECB rate decision
June 5 (Reuters) - Britain's benchmark FTSE 100 index edged higher on Thursday, while mid-caps retreated as investors awaited the European Central Bank's interest rate decision. As of 0948 GMT, the blue-chip index FTSE 100 (.FTSE), opens new tab was up 0.2% while the domestically-focussed FTSE 250 (.FTMC), opens new tab fell 0.2%. Shares of Wizz Air (WIZZ.L), opens new tab plunged 25.9%, weighing heavily on the midcap index, after the budget carrier reported an around 62% slide in annual operating profit, citing capacity constraints due to grounded planes. The slump rippled through the travel sector (.FTNMX405010), opens new tab with other airline stocks like easyJet (EZJ.L), opens new tab and ICAG (ICAG.L), opens new tab declining over 1% each. On the flip side, Dr Martens (DOCS.L), opens new tab jumped 23.2% and was the top gainer on the midcap index after the bootmaker announced plans to reduce discounting in key markets, including the U.S., and forecast a return to profit growth in this financial year. The ECB rate decision is scheduled for later in the day, with market watchers almost certain the central bank will cut rates by 25 basis points. Instead, focus will be on bank President Christine Lagarde's signals about future policy decisions. Friday's U.S. non-farm payrolls data will also command attention as evidence mounts of economic damage from President Donald Trump's tariff policies, following weak jobs and services data for the month of May. U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has said that a defence spending commitment of 5% of GDP across the NATO alliance will happen, ahead of the bloc's defence ministers' meeting. A gauge of the UK's defence stocks (.FTNMX502010), opens new tab was down 0.4% in the day. Back home, British construction firms reduced staff numbers last month at the fastest pace in nearly five years, reflecting higher wage costs and reduced demand, a survey showed on Thursday. Data by the Bank of England revealed 70% of businesses surveyed in May expect no impact on sales, prices or investment plans from U.S. tariffs. Among other movers, Mitie Group (MTO.L), opens new tab slid 11% after the outsourcing firm suspended 125 million pounds ($169.5 mln) share buyback programme. ($1 = 0.7374 pounds)

Tesco is selling £12 cabin case that's £287 cheaper than Samsonite version – and it's great for EasyJet and RyanAir
SHOPPERS are racing to Tesco to snap up a £12 cabin bag which fits perfectly in EasyJet and Ryanair airplanes. The bargain case is just a fraction of the price of the Samsonite version. 1 Tesco is selling £12 suitcases on clearance With the holiday season around the corner, you might be on the lookout for good deals. After splurging on flights and hotel, the last thing you want is to pay extra for Ryanair or EasyJet luggage fees. But eagle-eyed shoppers have found a solution with a suitcase that passes the airlines' restrictions and is easy on your wallet. One bargain hunter spotted the epic discounts in her local Tesco store and was eager to share it with others. Posting on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK, a private Facebook page with 2.5 million members, one member uploaded a snap of the cheap suitcases. In a post, they wrote: "Today at Beeston Tesco Nottingham, was quite a few left, waterproof material too!" The picture showed a shelf full of of carry-on cases which are retailing for only £12 on clearance. Apart from waterproof material, the suitcases sport a 360 degrees gliding wheels and can fit up to 30litres of clothing. In comparison, a similar suitcase from Samsonite will set you back a whopping £295. Shoppers were left open-mouthed by the cheap suitcases and many eagerly flocked to the comments to express this. Shoppers rush to snap up Primark's 'underseat suitcase' which is perfect for holidays & it also has removable wheels if you need it to be even smaller One fan raved: 'These are actually really good." While another called them 'a bargain buy'. The discounted cases are a part of Tesco's Constellation line, which also offers Manhattan-style luggage in a variety of colours and sizes. Members of Clubcard will also be able to take advantage of some fantastic discounts. The Manhattan Constellation cabin case costs £55 at full price, but with a Clubcard, it just costs £40. But some lucky shoppers have found even better deals on leftover or reduced stock, with some scanning at just £12 at the checkout. Just be aware that prices vary from store to store and depend on local stock, so it's worth checking your nearest Tesco or phoning ahead to ask if they've got any left. The cabin case also meets strict EasyJet size rules, meaning you won't be hit with unexpected fees at the gate. The budget airline only allows one small bag per passenger on board and it must measure no more than 45cm x 36cm x 20cm, handles and wheels included. The bag must also weigh less than 15kg and fit under the seat in front of you. Anything bigger will need to go in the hold and that'll cost you extra at the airport.
