Banks and miners lead stock market rally

A late rally yesterday helped London's leading shares index recover from Tuesday's rout despite mixed signs about the health of the world's biggest economy.

The FTSE 100 Index had been down 0.5% in early trading but a positive start on Wall Street dragged it out of the mire to close up 75.7 points at 5710.5, with banks and miners leading the surge.
