FTSE 100 rises on mining stocks and Unilever's strong sales

On Tuesday, the UK's FTSE 100 index opened higher, with mining stocks leading the gains following Beijing's announcement of increased policy support for the Chinese economy. Meanwhile, consumer goods company Unilever saw a 5% jump in its stock after beating quarterly sales estimates. The FTSE 100 rose by 0.1%, while the FTSE 250, which is more focused on domestic companies, dipped by 0.1%.

Industrial metal miners also saw gains, with a 2.7% increase in the FTSE NMX551020 index tracking a rise in base metal prices. This was due to China's leaders announcing a focus on expanding domestic demand and boosting confidence in the economy.

However, online car marketplace Auto Trader Group saw a 3.1% decline in its stock after JP Morgan downgraded its rating from "neutral" to "underweight".
