TD Waterhouse names the most-traded UK-listed companies for the morning of Friday 2 September.

TD Waterhouse view:

BP moves into first place on the top ten buys this morning accounting for 29.7 per cent. The oil giant’s share price stooped as a police raid on its Russian offices moved into a second day, providing a buying opportunity for TD customers. Baliffs have been searching for papers containing references to the company's failed £10 billion deal with state oil giant Rosneft.

'Wessex Exploration is a brand new entry to the top ten this morning accounting for 4.6 per cent of the buys. The oil and gas explorer’s share price benefited from takeover rumours surrounding Tullow Oil, with the pair being part owners of a well in French Guiana.'
