LONDON (AFP) – London's leading stock market rose at the start of trading on Wednesday, tracking overnight gains in Asia as investors await US economic data.
The FTSE 100 index climbed 0.77 percent to 5,571.10 points in early deals.
Japanese shares gained 0.51 percent Wednesday with the negative impact of a stronger yen offset by bargain hunting in major exporters following the previous day's sharp fall, brokers said.
The headline Nikkei index at the Tokyo Stock Exchange rose 51.01 points to close at 9,988.05 as investors waited for a US jobs report and other economic data later this week for trading cues.
