The London stock market closed higher on Tuesday, with the FTSE 100 index ending at 10,871.02 points, up 89.27 points or 0.83%, supported by consumer goods stocks that rose on strong earnings. Unilever led the gains, surging 8.58%, its biggest daily jump in four years, after the company raised its full-year outlook and reported its strongest quarterly volume growth in over a decade. Man Group shares hit their highest level since 2010 during the session before paring gains, after reporting a larger-than-expected increase in assets under management for the first half. Energy stocks fell 1.43%, the most among sectors, as oil prices dropped on hopes of easing tensions between the US and Iran. Banking stocks declined 1.37%, with Barclays sliding 4.79% despite reporting first-half profit above expectations, suggesting investors may have already priced in the positive news.
