14 June 2021 | 08:30am StockMarketWire.com - The FTSE 100 index made modest gains Monday as the UK awaits an update from prime minister Boris Johnson on whether the final Covid-19 restrictions will be lifted or delayed. At 08:28, the FTSE 100 was up 0.53% to 7,171.65. It is expected that Johnson will push back the lifting of the remaining restrictions to July as the Delta variant continues to push up case numbers. Environmental infrastructure fund Jlen said it had acquired Cramlington Renewable Energy Development, owner of a biomass combined heat and power plant. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. The announcement pushed up Jlen's share price by 0.12% to 102.52p.
