<p>The FTSE 100 Index has returned above the 6000 barrier after Wall Street shrugged off poor jobs data to finish in positive territory on Friday.</p>
<p>Continuing unrest in Egypt and ongoing fears over the health of the global economy have failed to dent world markets in recent days, with London&#8217;s top flight opening the week 38.7 points higher at 6035.7.</p>
<p>The mood will be tested over the next few days, with results from heavyweights Diageo and Rolls-Royce and the latest decision on interest rates from the Bank of England as policymakers grapple with inflationary pressures.</p>
<p>Banks were among the stocks on the front foot as Barclays lifted 5.15p to 313.25p and Lloyds Banking Group cheered 1.45p to 65.2p.</p>
<p>In corporate news, Bellway offered some rare cheer from the house market by revealing encouraging levels of visitor interest and subsequent reservations since the turn of the year.</p>
<p>Bellway&#8217;s shares rose 12.5p to 652p, although the rest of the sector was more subdued as Taylor Wimpey dropped 0.2p to 37.2p and Persimmon remained unchanged at 420.5p.</p>
<p>Shares in men&#8217;s clothing business Moss Bros jumped 15%, up 3.5p to 27.5p, after it announced the sale of its Hugo Boss stores for £16.5 million and said recent trading held up well despite the weather.</p>
