UK stocks up; futures, options expiries awaited

LONDON Sept 21 (Reuters) - Britain's top share index was

higher in early deals on Friday, rallying in tandem with modest

gains on Wall Street and in Asia, though trading could be

volatile ahead of quadruple-witching stock futures and options

expiries, due around 0915 GMT.

At 0707 GMT, the FTSE 100 index was up 30.56 points,

or 0.5 percent, at 5,885.20, having shed 0.6 percent on

Thursday.

Miners, up 1.1 percent, led the bounce back as

copper rallied from a drop in the prior session, spurred

by hopes for major economies to continue stimulus moves that

could boost global demand for metals.

Mexican silver miner Fresnillo was a top blue chip

performer, up 2.0 percent, as Deutsche Bank raised its target

price to 1,780 pence from 1,580 pence.
