U.K. stocks pushed further into record territory in bouncy trade on Thursday, supported by a rally in shares of house builders on the back of upbeat news from Persimmon PLC. The index was hovering around the flatline for most of the session as traders digested minutes from the U.S. Federal Reserve's meeting in December, released after Wednesday's close in London.
