You may find a different story on the ftse 250 which is better barometer of how things are going and it is not doing so well.

Any good news of course has to be good news but only if it really is so however.
It says in the article that the FTSE 250 has also risen not as much as it fell yet but coming back up is a good sign and the pound has risen a little against the dollar.
