London's main FTSE indexes edged higher on Tuesday, supported by earnings-driven gains in consumer-focused stocks, including Unilever and Man Group, shrugging off pressure from declines in banks and energy shares.
The blue-chip FTSE 100 index (.FTSE) rose 0.5% to 10,845.71 points by 0950 GMT, while the mid-cap FTSE 250 (.FTMC) climbed 0.2%.
