(about 4 hours later) | |
(Noon): After a strong start to the day, the FTSE 100 fell back to stand little-changed by midday, with mining stocks weighing on the market. | |
The FTSE 100 had been up more than 40 points at one point, but by midday was down 4.39 points at 6,102.09. | |
Mining stocks saw the biggest losses, with Glencore down 3.4% and Anglo American dropping 3.3%. | |
The top rises included High Street stalwart Marks & Spencer and Primark owner AB Foods, both up about 2.5%. | |
Investors are expected to remain cautious ahead of a speech from US Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellen due later. | |
