LONDON Jan 23 (Reuters) - Britain's top share index pushed back up towards
the 6,200 resistance level in early trade on Wednesday, tracking a rally to
5-year highs on Wall Street, fueled by positive corporate earnings and an
extension of the U.S. debt limit.
At 0807 GMT, the FTSE 100 index was up 14.27 points, or 0.2 percent
higher, at 6,193.44 points, having reached a 2013 high at 6,197.30 in opening
deals. The UK blue chip index closed flat on Tuesday, weighed down by falls in
financials and mining stocks.
Unilever was the top FTSE 100 gainer, up 2.7 percent as the global
consumer goods company reported 2012 underlying sales growth of 6.9 percent,
beating forecasts of 6.5 percent, propelled by double digit growth in emerging
markets.
On the downside, TUI Travel dropped 3.3 percent as its parent, German
travel and tourism group TUI AG said it has no intention of making an
offer for the majority-owned British unit.
