UK stocks pushed higher on Wednesday, with financials leading the charge north after hawkish signals from the US Federal Reserve’s Janet Yellen, MarketWatch reports.
The FTSE 100 index rose 0.4% to 7,294.48, setting it on track for its highest close since January 16. The London benchmark on Tuesday fell for the first time in six sessions, after choppy trading driven by lower-than-expected inflation data and a round of corporate news.
