Feb 12 (Reuters) - Britain's FTSE 100 .FTSE index is seen opening 6 points
lower at 6,523 on Friday, according to financial bookmakers, with futures
.FFIc1 down 0.32% ahead of cash market open.

* VIVO ENERGY: Africa-focussed fuel retailer Vivo Energy VVO.L forecast
its full-year core earnings above the top end of market's expectations as
COVID-19 curbs eased, and said it intends to recommend a dividend of 3.8 cents
per share for 2020. * JET2: British holiday company Jet2 JET2.L said it raised 422 million
pounds through a new share issue, equivalent to 20% of its share capital prior
to the fund raising, to boost its finances as the pandemic continues to stop
travel. * RIO TINTO: Rio Tinto RIO.AX , RIO.L said it has provided expertise to
its Guinean partner to help settle a dispute with local communities over
resettlement for a bauxite mine. * GOLD: Gold eased as the dollar and Treasury yields edged higher, but
prices were on course for their best week in three as hopes of more U.S.
stimulus underpinned the metal. * OIL: Oil prices fell a second day, extending losses after OPEC cut its
demand forecast and the International Energy Agency said the market was still
over-supplied. * The UK blue-chip index .FTSE closed 0.1% higher on Thursday as upbeat
earnings outlooks and dividend hikes from soft drink bottler Coca-Cola HBC and
information group Relx boosted investors' hopes for a speedy economic recovery.
