The FTSE 100 closed 0.4% higher at 10,542 on Tuesday, extending the rebound from the three-month low of 10,428 on Thursday and tracking a strong session for global equities after a pause in the current bond rout. Fast-moving consumer goods were among the strongest sectors, with Unilever and Coca-Cola adding close to 2% each. Banks were also up as lower gilt yields softened the pressure on the UK's credit outlook, with HSBC, Lloyds, and NatWest adding between 0.8% and 1.7%. Meanwhile, Informa gained 5.2% after agreeing to acquire Clarion for GBP 2.24 billion and reviewing options for its Taylor & Francis publishing arm.
