Market round up: Greece deal lifts FTSE 100 and European indexes
Across Europe, stock indexes reacted to the news early on 13 July that Greece has stuck a tentative deal with its creditors at the International Monetary Fund and European Central Bank.
"Markets breathed an audible sigh of relief after eurozone leaders emerged from marathon talks with an agreement on a third bailout for Greece," says AJ Bell investment director Russ Mould.
Supermarkets were prominent on FTSE 100 leaderboard. Alent's shares surged after agreeing a £1.35bn (€1.9bn, $2bn) takeover by US chemicals group Platform Specialty Products.
Optimism was relatively restrained on the FTSE as the index gained 0.97% to close at 6,673.38.
Invista European Real Estate Trust's shares tumbled on plans to hold a fire sale to maintain support from its lenders.
