Stocks in London made modest progress on Friday as lower oil prices amid hopes of progress in US-Iran negotiations helped offset concerns over another rise in bond yields.
In London, the FTSE 100 index ended up 15.26 points, 0.1%, at 10,695.25. The FTSE 250 rose 106.82 points, 0.4%, to 24,261.14, and the AIM all-share added 1.40 points, 0.2%, at 786.36.
