<p>Global economic recovery hopes have fuelled further gains on the London market as investors put fears over unrest in Egypt behind them.</p>
<p>The FTSE 100 Index rose another 55.1 points to 6012.9 after Tuesday&#8217;s 1.6% surge spurred on by upbeat manufacturing data in both the UK and US.</p>
<p>America&#8217;s Dow Jones Industrial Average closed above 12,000 for the first time in two-and-a-half years overnight as the economic cheer offset any lingering concerns over Egypt&#8217;s political situation.</p>
<p>Miners and commodity stocks were among those benefiting from the improved growth outlook.</p>
<p>Eurasian Natural Resources was the sector&#8217;s biggest gainer, up 39p to 1076p, while Xstrata followed with a 38.5p gain to 1441p.</p>
<p>Mobile phone giant Vodafone was also in the spotlight after it confirmed the boss of electronics giant Philips would succeed outgoing chairman Sir John Bond.</p>
<p>Shares in the heavyweight blue-chip stock rose 2.2p to 179.2p.</p>
<p>In corporate news, merger talks between struggling retailer JJB Sports and its rival JD Sports Fashion sent shares in JJB 22% higher, up 1.1p to 5.7p as investors hoped for an end to its survival battle.</p>
<p>JD Sports shares eased by 6.5p to 841p.</p>
