Global markets rebound
The London market has continued to build on Monday's rally, with banking giant Barclays and oil and mining stocks driving the FTSE 100 higher.
The share price rises follow a record 14% one-day gain for Japan's Nikkei 225 index and an 11% surge for the Dow Jones in the US.
US stocks are expected to climb when Wall Street reopens on news the US government will buy banking shares.
