LONDON (MarketWatch) -- Standard Life PLC and Barclays PLC led U.K. stocks higher Wednesday on the back of well-received earnings reports, while mining firms tracked metals prices higher.
The FTSE 100 index rose 0.3% to 6,423.68, adding to a 2% gain from Tuesday.
Standard Life jumped 5.5%, after posting a better-than-expected 24% rise in sales for the first quarter, boosted by strong performances in the U.K. and Canada.
Shares of Barclays (BCS) added 1.3%, after the bank posted a first-quarter net profit of 839 million pounds ($1.28 billion) vs. a loss of GBP598 million in the same quarter last year. The bank said earnings were hit by GBP514 million in restructuring charges, which should put it on the right path.
Mining firms also posted solid gains, as metals prices rose across the board.
Shares of Vedanta Resources PLC gained 4.6%, Rio Tinto PLC (RIO) put on 4.5% and Fresnillo PLC picked up 4.2%.
Oil firms further rose alongside rising oil prices. BP PLC (BP) climbed 1%, Royal Dutch Shell PLC (RDSB) gained 0.9% and BG Group PLC traded 0.8% higher.
On a more downbeat note in London, shares of Associated British Foods PLC shaved off 2.4%, following a 8.1% rally the prior day.
