TODAY’S FACTORS AND EVENTS

London shares climbed to their highest finish in a week on Thursday, helped along by an oil price rally and global stock market boost on the back of a dovish speech by Federal Reserve chief Jerome Powell.

Sterling had briefly ticked up against the dollar on Wednesday after Powell said US interest rates were “just below” neutral levels barely two months after saying rates were “a long way” from neutral, sparking the best session for US equity markets since March and denting the greenback.
