* FTSE 100 up 0.4%, FTSE 250 up 0.2%
* Miners boost blue-chip index
Sept 2 (Reuters) - London's FTSE 100 weathered the impact of
the latest U.S.-China tariffs on Monday, thanks to mining stocks
as iron ore prices jumped after China pledged support to its
economy and nickel prices gained on Indonesia's move to expedite
ore exports ban.
The main index .FTSE added 0.4% as shares of heavyweight
miners Rio Tinto RIO.L and Glencore GLEN.L advanced 1% each,
while consumer goods firms and healthcare stocks also supported
the index.
The mid-cap FTSE 250 .FTMC inched up 0.2% by 0713 GMT.
