(Reuters) - The UK blue-chip index bounced back on Friday after its worst session in a month, with miners leading gains following upbeat data from the world's top metals consumer, China, while car dealership firm Lookers tanked after another profit alert.
The FTSE 100 <.FTSE> was 0.3% higher by 0805 GMT, recouping some of the more than 1% drop in the previous session, and the FTSE 250 <.FTMC> added 0.3%.
Lookers <LOOK.L> plunged 30% on the smallcap index after the company issued its second warning on profits in less than four months and announced the departure of its two top executives.
