<p>Shares in Barclays have lifted 3% after the bank giant launched the sector&#8217;s reporting season with bigger-than-expected profits of £6.1 billion.</p>
<p>As well as the 32% improvement in headline profits, Barclays reassured investors over the performance of its investment banking division by revealing BarCap increased revenues by 20% in the final three months of 2010.</p>
<p>Barclays shares were up 8.8p to 319.5p and it helped others in the sector to progress as Royal Bank of Scotland lifted half a penny to 44.8p and Lloyds Banking Group added 1.5p to 67.2p.</p>
<p>Overall, the FTSE 100 Index was 8.6 points higher at 6068, despite a weaker session for miners.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Premier Foods added 1.1p to 23.2p after the Hovis and Mr Kipling owner said it had reduced its debt burden to below £1 billion.</p>
<p>Trading profits edged up to £311 million after a resilient 2010, according to chief executive Robert Schofield.</p>
<p>There was no such post-results boom for pizza delivery firm Domino&#8217;s, which gave back recent gains after posting a 27% rise in underlying full-year profits to £38 million, slightly ahead of market expectations.</p>
<p>The company signalled further progress in its online strategy but shares were off 34.3p to 488.7p.</p>
