* FTSE 100 up 0.4%, FTSE 250 up 0.2%
* The main support of minors to the main index
* Ted Baker on the track for the worst day in his history
* The game drops after falling revenues
June 11 (Reuters) – London's main stock index continued its gains on Tuesday, as signs of rising Chinese public spending to revive the economy pushed the actions of FTSE miners, including Rio Tinto , up 2-3%.
Antofagasta and Glencore shares also rose, while oil majors, BP and Shell, benefited from higher crude fueled by hopes that OPEC and its allies will continue to cut supply.
This is the latest sign of trouble on the British street, with the title of retailer Ted Baker, down almost a third, its lowest level in six and a half years while announced earnings would be well below expectations of badysts.
The FTSE 100 index, supported last week by the hope of an increased monetary and fiscal stimulus around the world, was up 0.4% at 07.15 GMT, gaining for the seventh consecutive session , while the mid-cap index was up 0.2%.
The mining index jumped 2%, its biggest gain in a day since a month, as copper prices prolonged expected gains, so China's appetite for the product could increase.
Fast fashion retailer Quiz also dropped 9% after reporting a 94% drop in underlying pre-tax earnings. (Report of Muvija M in Bengaluru, edited by Patrick Graham)
