UK stocks climb over 1% on cooler-than-expected inflation data




The UK's benchmark indexes rose on Wednesday, on track for a three-day winning streak as cooler-than-expected October inflation data lifted investor sentiment, while a rise in prices of most commodities pushed mining and energy stocks higher.

The commodity-focused FTSE 100 was up 1.2% at 0838 GMT, touching the highest level in nearly a month. The mid-cap FTSE 250 gained 1.1%, hitting a two-month high.
