London stocks kick off May on bright note

London’s blue-chip FTSE 100 edged higher on Tuesday, boosted by a jump in shares of HSBC after the lender’s quarterly profit tripled, though overall gains were limited by weakness in energy stocks.

The internationally-focused FTSE 100 rose 0.3% by 0710 GMT, while the mid-caps index was up 0.4%.

HSBC Holdings advanced 3.8% to the top of the FTSE 100 after its first-quarter profit topped expectations as rising interest rates worldwide boosted income and helped it pay its first quarterly dividend since 2019.
