    UK mortgage approvals rose more than economists' forecast in June in a sign of continued momentum in the housing market. Lending to businesses fell the most on record.

    Home-loan approvals climbed to 66,582 from an upwardly revised 64,826 in May, the Bank of England (BOE) said in London on Wednesday. Economists had forecast a figure of 66,000, according to a Bloomberg survey.
