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 was mainly a Citi forecast that Prudential's new business profit will rise 8%, with Asian markets offsetting weakness in China. The remaining stories were routine notices about admitting 10,916 shares to trading in London.
