FTSE 100 movers: China boosts market led by miners

The FTSE 100 looked to finish the week on a high, up 80.59 points to 6,456.87 by mid-afternoon Friday and hitting its highest point in over two months. Miners Glencore led the risers, with Fresnillo also featuring in the top 10. It came as the People’s Bank of China announced it will cut its one-year deposit rate and one-year lending rate by 25 basis points each to 1.5% and 4.35%, respectively, as it looks to bolster the slowing economy.
