India, Nov. 9 -- The U.K. stock market's benchmark index FTSE 100 climbed higher on Monday, lifted by strong gains in the mining sector. Weak crude oil prices and softening bond yields boosted sentiment.
Oil prices dropped following remarks by U.S. President Donald Trump that renewed military strikes on Iran were "highly unlikely" while talks to end their eight-month-old conflict continue.
Brent crude front-month futures fell to $96.11 a barrel before recovering to $96.98, still down by about 1.4% from previous close.
