FTSE 100 enjoys boost
Relief over unprecedented bank rescue plans across the UK and Europe have sparked a rally in stock markets.
The FTSE 100 Index, which fell nearly 9% on Friday at the end of the worst week since 1987, gained 3% to move above the 4,000-point barrier.
Indices across Europe also recovered some lost ground after nations agreed a raft of emergency measures designed to ease the credit crunch.
