<p>Supermarket stocks finished the year with a flourish as the FTSE 100 Index stuck close to its opening mark in a shortened trading session.</p>
<p>The top flight stood 0.4 points higher at 5971.2 but looks set to gain by more than 10% across the year as a whole following a better-than-expected 2010.</p>
<p>With trading for the year due to finish at lunchtime, there was little in the way of corporate news to stir buying interest.</p>
<p>Asian markets also traded in a narrow range as Hong Kong&#8217;s Hang Seng finished a shortened trading session just 0.2% higher. Japan&#8217;s stock market was closed for the day, having dropped more than 1% in its previous session.</p>
<p>Morrisons and Sainsbury&#8217;s occupied the leading positions in the FTSE 100 Index as investors prepared for key trading updates in the sector in the coming days.</p>
<p>Bradford-based Morrisons, which is due to report figures on January 10, rose 4.4p to 271.8p, while Sainsbury&#8217;s added 4.5p to 384.6p and Tesco lifted 2.1p to 431.65p.</p>
<p>Elsewhere in the retail sector, B&#038;Q owner Kingfisher added 2.7p to 267.3p, Next cheered 13p to 2007p and Primark firm Associated British Foods lifted 8p to 1190p.</p>
