G20 meeting
AFP, London
Investors in the British stock market, which hit a 10-month high this week, will next week look forward to the Group of 20 finance ministers' meeting in London amid a dearth of company results.
The benchmark FTSE-100 index of leading shares ended the week up 58.01 points, or 1.20 percent, to 4,908.9 points from the previous Friday.
On Tuesday it had closed at a 10-month high of 4,916.80 points following the release of better-than-expected data on the US housing market and US consumer confidence, which raised hopes of an economic recovery.
The London market will begin trading next week on Tuesday owing to a long holiday weekend in Britain.
"This coming week sees the trading week cut short by a bank holiday," said Hargreaves Lansdown equities analyst Keith Bowman.
"On the economic front, the focus is likely to turn to the latest G20 meeting," he added.
The G20 finance meeting, held before a summit of the Group of 20 biggest economies in September, will discuss the crucial issue of bankers’ bonuses. The two-day London gathering kicks off next Friday.

Over 90,000 jobs at risk in German car industry
AFP, Berlin
More than 90,000 jobs are in danger in Germany's automobile industry as the government's "cash-for-clunkers" scheme comes to an end, a report showed on Friday.
The study, by Roland Berger consultancy, said that the very successful programme, which gives people 2,500 euros off a new car if they scrap their old one, has only deferred problems for the industry until next year.
The scheme has brought "some relief in 2009 to the makers of economy and midsize cars but the incentives will only push the sales problem forward into 2010, unless the real economy takes off again," the study said.
"In Germany alone, more than 90,000 jobs are at risk in the country's automotive industry."
Last month, the government said it would not extend the programme, which has been copied in Britain and the United States, once the five billion euros (seven billion dollars) set aside has been used up.
It has already been extended once and figures on the website of the government agency managing the programme show that fewer than 100,000 applications out of an original two million can still be made.
Japan's Hitachi, NEC, Casio in phone merger talks
AFP, Tokyo
Hitachi Ltd., NEC Corp and Casio Computer Co are in talks about a possible merger of their mobile phone businesses in a bid to improve profitability, reports said Friday.
NEC is negotiating to take a stake of more than 50 percent in Casio Hitachi Mobile Communications Co., a joint venture which was founded in 2004 by Casio and Hitachi, Kyodo News reported, citing unnamed sources.
Together the three would have the second-largest share in the Japanese mobile phone handset market, behind Sharp Corp.
The three companies declined to confirm the report.
Most Japanese already own a mobile telephone and operators and handset manufactures are facing growing challenges to boost revenue in a crowded market, particularly given the weak economy and shrinking population.
