TUI and miners lead FTSE higher
LONDON (Reuters) – The blue chip shares rose in early trade on Wednesday, building on the previous session’s gains and an overnight rise on Wall Street spurred by encouraging U.S. economic data.
Investors though were still awaiting details on Cyprus’s plans to impose capital controls and that kept trading across the market in a relatively tight range.

FTSE rises, buoyed by Cypriot bank branch deal with Greece
LONDON (Reuters) – The FTSE 100 rose on Friday after Cyprus agreed to spin off Greek units of its banks to Greece, helping banks pare losses in a market underpinned by strength in BP and AstraZeneca.
Banks fell by as much as 1.2 percent in morning trade, led by those with significant exposure to the euro zone, such as Royal Bank of Scotland and Lloyds. But they staged a partial recovery to trade down just 0.2 percent after news of the Greek deal.
