LONDON (MarketWatch) -- U.K.'s FTSE 100 index rose for the first time in three days on Thursday, as heavyweight companies like Rio Tinto PLC and HSBC Holdings PLC advanced after corporate-related news.
The FTSE 100 gained 0.2% to close at 6,810.27, partly recovering from a 0.5% loss on Wednesday.
Helping lift the benchmark, Rio Tinto PLC (RIO) picked up 1.5% after Standard & Poor's Ratings Services revised the outlook on the miner to stable and said the it had reported strong 2013 results with credit metrics above expectations.

Outside the main index, Man Group PLC rallied 14% after the investment manager said it swung to a full-year profit in 2013 and laid out plans to repurchase $115 million of its ordinary shares to return surplus capital to shareholders.
On a more upbeat note, shares of Royal Bank of Scotland Group PLC (RBS) topped the list of decliners, sliding 7.7%, after the 81% state-owned lender posted a loss of GBP9 billion ($15 billion) for 2013 and announced a plan to cut GBP5 billion in costs over the next few years.
