FTSE 100 Rallies Led By Energy Stocks

(RTTNews) - U.K. stocks were sharply higher on their first trading session of 2023. Markets await a reading on manufacturing for December, which is expected to have held steady year-on-year.

The benchmark FTSE 100 rallied 150 points, or 2 percent, to 7,600 as trading resumed after a long holiday weekend.

Oil and gas firm BP Plc jumped 4.4 percent and Shell rallied 4.1 percent as oil prices edged higher despite growth concerns.
