Most banks were up.
Standard Chartered plc was up after
rebuffing concerns about its capital position and announced it was considering acquisitions. Barclays plc shares were up on reports that it
is seeking bids for $1.5 billion of bonds and $3.5

loans, according to Bloomberg. HSBC Holdings plc also enjoyed a nice rally after falling
earlier this week on
worries its growth will slow in emerging markets. - Maria Woehr
