* FTSE 100 up 1.1%, FTSE 250 adds 0.6%
June 26 (Reuters) - London's FTSE 100 rose on Friday as
energy stocks tracked gains in oil prices on optimism about a
recovery in global fuel demand, while easyJet jumped after
taking more steps to shore up liquidity.
The low-cost airline EZJ.L rose 2.2% as it reported the
sale and leaseback of six A320neo aircraft with leasing firm
SMBC Aviation Capital for $255 million. The blue-chip FTSE 100 .FTSE was up 1.1%, with BP Plc
BP.L and Royal Dutch Shell Plc RDSa.L among the biggest
boosts. The mid-cap FTSE 250 .FTMC added 0.6%.
However, both indexes were set to end the week lower as a
spike in coronavirus cases raised fears of another round of
lockdowns and sapped risk appetite globally. The FTSE 100 has
gained about 26% from its March low, but remains about 19% below
its January record high.
Britain's biggest retailer Tesco TSCO.L fell 1.1% after
reiterating a flat profit outlook as a jump in sales during the
coronavirus-induced lockdown was counteracted by higher costs.
