The FTSE 100 index has continued its progress amid contrasting starts to the year for stock markets in New York and London.
The blue-chip index rose 1.4% yesterday, whereas US markets finished lower after a 12% slide for Tesla shares and a 4% drop for iPhone maker Apple that left its valuation below $2 trillion.
With Asia markets mostly higher this morning, London’s top flight has consolidated the big gains seen on Tuesday.
