Equity markets in the United Kingdom edged higher on Thursday as positive corporate earnings reports offset broader concerns regarding geopolitical instability. The blue-chip FTSE 100 index rose 0.1% by 1201 GMT, while the midcap FTSE 250 index climbed 0.4%. These gains come as investors monitor the ongoing conflict between the United States and Iran, which has entered its sixth day and continues to influence global energy prices.
