The FTSE 100 closes higher as investors position ahead of an upcoming US jobs report. The index ends the session up 75.07 points, or 0.7%, at 10,831.52.
Both outlets attribute the move to market sentiment driven by expectations surrounding the US labour data, which investors are watching for indications of the pace of economic growth and potential policy implications. While one report provides the specific closing level and gain, neither outlet adds further detail on trading drivers beyond the focus on the US jobs release.
