Mining companies led the FTSE 100 and FTSE 250 higher on Wednesday as metals prices rose following a US-Iran agreement for a two-week ceasefire. Copper miner Antofagasta PLC (LSE:ANTO) jumped 12.6%, while copper-focused Anglo American PLC (LSE:AAL) rose more than 10%. Precious metals specialist Fresnillo PLC (LSE:FRES) also recorded a similar gain.

This has allowed markets to begin pricing out some of the extreme risk premium that had built up in recent weeks, helping to stabilise oil prices and support risk sentiment more broadly.”
