Tone of the day
What the score means. Each score rates how good or bad the news was for the company, from −10 (clearly bad) to +10 (clearly good). 0 is neutral, and anything beyond ±6 is strong and rare. It rates the coverage, not the share price.
Why it scored this way
Coverage centred on completion of the £516m Metrocentre deal involving Landsec, which reads as a sizeable portfolio move. Smaller stories about new store openings at Westgate Oxford added a mildly positive tone.
What drove it
- Metrocentre deal completion
- Westgate Oxford tenant openings
