(fxcue news) - U.K. stocks edged up slightly on Thursday after another Federal Reserve official said the time has come for the U.S. central bank to cut interest rates.

Banks rebounded after falling on Wednesday amid concerns that the new Labour government could raise taxes on the sector in October's Budget. NatWest, HSBC, Lloyds Ban and Barclays rose 1-2 percent. GSK rose half a percent after its RSV vaccine received approval for wider use in adults in Europe. Building materials distributor Grafton Group fell about 1 percent after reporting a fall in its first-half pretax profit and revenue.
