London stocks bounce from six-week lows

The blue-chip FTSE 100 index lifted off six-week lows on Tuesday, powered by gains in beaten-down cyclical sectors, while shares of John Wood Group advanced after raising its annual profit outlook.

The FTSE 100 (.FTSE) was up 0.3%, while the midcap FTSE 250 index gained 0.6%. The benchmark index could snap a seven-day losing streak, if gains last till the end of the trading session.

Gains were driven by cyclical sectors, including construction and materials, precious metal miners and defence.
