Four-week losing run shows Ftse woes

The London market ended the session by posting four straight weeks of losses, despite edging up yesterday.

The Ftse 100 index lifted 2.6 points to 6710.45, unmoved by news that EU leaders will hold an emergency summit about Greece’s debt crisis on Monday.

The top-flight moved away from five-month lows it hit earlier this week, but it still lost 1.1% over the last five sessions, a losing streak that began on May 25.
