On a buoyant day for the markets generally, one of today's best performing sectors is technology hardware and equipment.
Among the strong performers in the sector is Seeing Machines, a developer of advanced vision based industrial systems, which perked up after it said that a production license for its API tracking software suite has been bought by US firm Pillar Vision.
The only sector in the red is real estate investment & services, despite a rise in the share price of DTZ. The global estate agent cut losses sharply last year through buoyant business in Asia and a first operating profit in the Americas.
