* FTSE 100 up 0.9%, FTSE 250 up 0.4%
* Indexes bounce back after 2 days of losses
* Playtech, Coats Group slide on lackluster forecasts
Nov 22 (Reuters) - London's FTSE 100 jumped almost 1% on
Friday, recouping nearly all its losses from the past two
sessions when uncertainty surrounding a U.S.-China trade deal
had spurred selling.
The main index's .FTSE surge was led by trade-sensitive
scrips, including HSBC HSBA.L , oil stocks and miners,
.FTNMX1770 after China attempted to allay fears by saying it
would strive to reach a "phase one" deal with the United States.
The FTSE 250 .FTMC added 0.4%, bolstered by industrial
stocks, but gambling software maker Playtech PTEC.L and
industrial thread manufacturer Coats Group COA.L
underperformed due to lackluster annual forecasts.
