Lysol cleaning products maker Reckitt Benckiser Group climbed 5.8% after it raised its full-year guidance and topped estimates for third-quarter sales. Whitbread gained 2.8% after reporting a much smaller half-year loss as the travel sector rebounds from the pandemic, and stating it expected a full recovery by 2022.

London's FTSE 100 rose for a third straight session on today, jumping 0.4% this morning.

The atmosphere was also lifted by Tesla reaching a $1trillion market capitalization. The world leader in electric cars broke the threshold on Monday. It joins a select club of American giants: Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, Alphabet and Facebook (which fell below this barrier since).
