Miners support UK stocks as investors eye key events

UK stocks saw miners gain, while investors are closely watching several key events this week. These include details on new U.S. sanctions targeting Iran's trade partners, which could impact crude supplies, chipmaker Nvidia's earnings as a test for the AI rally, and U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh's debut speech at the annual Jackson Hole conference for guidance on bond yields and monetary policy.
