* FTSE 100 up 0.7%, FTSE 250 adds 0.9%

July 28 (Reuters) - London's FTSE 100 rose on Tuesday with
energy stocks jumping as hopes of more U.S. stimulus to shore up
a pandemic-hit economy propped up oil prices, while Greggs edged
higher after signalling a pickup in trading.
The food-to-go retailer GRG.L added 1.3% as its sales
surged 72% at company-managed stores in the most recent week
following the easing of coronavirus lockdowns. The blue-chip FTSE 100 .FTSE rose 0.7%, with BP Plc BP.L
and Royal Dutch Shell Plc RDSa.L being among the biggest
boosts. O/R
The mid-cap FTSE 250 .FTMC gained 0.9%, led by consumer
discretionary, real estate and tech-related stocks.
Personal goods stocks .FTNMX3760 and banks .FTNMX8350
were among the few decliners in early trading.
