India, April 30 -- UK's equity benchmark FTSE 100 moved higher on Thursday, outperforming other major markets in Europe, thanks to strong gains in the mining sectors. Investors also reacted to a slew of corporate earnings updates and looked ahead to the Bank of England's monetary policy announcement.

The BoE is widely expected to hold interest rates but is likely to hike rates later on in the year.
