On the data front, UK shop price inflation accelerated to 1.4% in September, the highest in 19 months, driven by DIY and gardening goods, though laptops and back-to-school items saw price cuts. The BRC warned upcoming packaging taxes could add pressure. Meanwhile, ONS data confirmed Q2 GDP rose 0.3%, with annual growth revised up to 1.4% from 1.2%. Heavyweights HSBC, AstraZeneca, Unilever and Relx advanced between 0.4% and 1.3% on Tuesday.
