London closes positively but fails to break 4,200

The FTSE-100 Index closed in positive territory yesterday, but failed to break through the key 4,200 level.

As the session got under way, the top flight nudged past 4,200 as a hefty surge on Wall Street the night before fuelled trading.

But with US markets closed for Thanksgiving the FTSE came off its highs to close up 41.2 points at 4,185.4.
