(MENAFN- Saudi Press Agency) Britain's top share index edged higher on Tuesday, lagging euro zone shares, with weak results from Bunzl capped the market, Reuters reported.
The FTSE 100 was up 12.12 points, or 0.2 percent at 6,837.79 by 0801 GMT, hitting a new 11-day high as it extended gains from Monday, when it posted its strongest session since May.
The index lagged the blue-chip Euro STOXX 50, up 0.8 percent, boosted by hopes that Greece can reach a deal with its creditors this week as well as by a drop in the euro.
Business supplies distributor Bunzl contributed to the underperformance of the FTSE 100 after it said organic growth slowed in the first half of the financial year.
