UK Market: The UK stock market was trading in the positive territory on Monday, with the blue-chip FTSE100 index gaining over 1.2 per cent. This happened as the Office for National Statistics unveiled on Monday that the UK GDP growth stood at 0.2% in July, indicating a potential return to normalcy after a 0.6% contraction in the preceding month. However, the growth was lower than expected, which may be attributed to a decline in construction and industrial production. Nevertheless, services compensated for the decline with 0.4% growth, implying that the overall economic growth was flat in the quarter.
