Shares in BG Group rise 0.7 percent, bucking the trend in a falling UK stock market, as traders cite talk that Royal Dutch Shell and Gazprom may bid for the British gas producer.
The rise follows a report in the Financial Times that Shell or Petrobras may be eyeing the firm.
Shell was not immediately available for comment. BG Group declined to comment.
