UK stocks pushed higher as a global rally — sparked by [Nvidia’s upbeat revenue outlook](https://www.share-talk.com/nvidia-banishes-ai-bubble-fears-for-now-as-blockbuster-results-spark-market-rally/) — lifted sentiment across markets.

The blue-chip **FTSE 100 climbed 0.5pc**, putting it on course to end a five-day losing streak, while the more domestically focused **FTSE 250 rose 0.1pc**, poised to snap its own six-day decline.

Nvidia’s stronger-than-expected results have rippled through global markets, boosting confidence even in regions like the UK that have relatively limited direct exposure to tech.

The **aerospace and defence sector** led the rebound, jumping **2.7pc**, with **Rolls-Royce** and **BAE Systems** both rising more than **2.5pc**.

**AstraZeneca** added around **1pc** after its drug to control the growth of non-cancerous tumours secured US approval.

Standout performers included **Halma**, which rocketed **12.4pc to an all-time high** after raising its annual revenue forecast on strong US data centre demand, and **Games Workshop**, which surged **11.2pc** to a record high on an upbeat half-year outlook.

Attention now turns to the delayed **US jobs report**, a key release that will offer fresh clues on the health of the American economy following the end of the recent government shutdown.
