India, July 2 -- The UK stock market's benchmark index FTSE 100 climbed higher after a flat start Thursday morning, led by gains in pharmaceuticals and consumer sectors.
Easing concerns about inflation and interest rates contributed to the positive mood in the market. Investors awaited crucial U.S. non-farm payrolls data due later in the day.
The FTSE 100 was up 45.20 points or 0.43% at 10,523.54 nearly half an hour before noon.
