<p>The top tier gained 13.1 points to 5996.4 early on Friday, helped by a steady finish on Wall Street overnight and strong gains in Asia.</p>

<p>Cairn Energy was the biggest FTSE faller, down 11.8p to 426.2p, after reports that Vedanta Resources was considering pulling out of a deal to buy a majority stake in Cairn India.</p>
<p>Outside the top flight, retailer HMV soared 12% or 2.75p to 25.5p, boosted by speculation that potential buyers are circling the embattled group. Private equity and former retail bosses are said to be eyeing HMV for takeover.</p>
<p>Superdry fashion label SuperGroup was also on the rise, ahead 4% after a 58p rise to 1588p, as the market gave the thumbs up to news of its deal to buy out European franchise partner CNC Collections.</p>
<p>Elsewhere, Clover maker Dairy Crest fell 8.9p to 371.1p as it became the latest group to outline soaring inflationary pressures.</p>
