Rolls Royce (LON: RR) share price continues to make waves as the luxury car manufacturer’s shares have hit a new 3-yearly high. The shares of the aviation giant are changing hands at 216p, up 1.47% till press time.
The FTSE100 index has risen by 200 points since last week. This suggests positive market sentiment in the UK stock market. Earlier in August, Rolls Royce shares jumped 15% after reporting a strong earnings report for the second quarter.
