While the FTSE 100 continues to suffer its worst session in recent times, dropping 2.5%, there are a handful of companies which have been able to buck the bearish trend.
Out of London's blue chips, only Haleon and Reckitt have been able to lift into the green, up by 0.1% and 0.4% respectively.
Haleon had previously showed resilience last week after its interim results, with analysts at Deutsche Bank highlighting its dependability during tough markets.
“The stock has been strong into results and the positive margin performance, along with some low season improvement in a respiratory sell-out, is supporting the stock.
“However, Haleon is delivering in a sector where performance is very mixed and it should be modestly up today even after the recent rise, in our view."
Reckitt's strength in the face of a downturn may be due to the fact it is currently trading at around a ten-year low, indicating that its floor has already been hit.
Its shares have been under pressure due to the overhang of potential litigation regarding its baby formula division, with allegations that it put premature infants at risk.
Risers in the FTSE 250 included Ruffer, the investor particularly focused on bonds, and budget airline Wizz Air.
