Higher share prices can affect pensions and investments held by many people. London’s main stock index climbed 0.4% on 2 June, ending three days of losses, while the FTSE 250 added 0.8% as mining companies benefited from stronger base metal prices and investors watched possible peace efforts involving the United States and Iran. Oil prices moved lower during trading.
