UK Stock Market Today: FTSE 100 Rises as Miners Rally, Morgan Sindall Jumps and easyJet Slides

The FTSE 100 edged up roughly 0.2% to 10,579 by Thursday morning, lifted mostly by gains in mining and financial shares as optimism for dialogue between Washington and Tehran calmed nerves. The mid-cap FTSE 250 outperformed, too. Shares of Morgan Sindall popped, while easyJet slipped on a downbeat outlook for bookings and fuel expenses.
