FTSE investors adopt wait-and-see stance

The FTSE 100 Index struggled for direction today as investors assessed signs of what to expect from the G20 Summit.

Trading was thinner on the ground today as the City shut up shop in anticipation of widespread protests ahead of the meeting in London as world leaders gather to try and agree on a solution to the global economic crisis. The FTSE was down 26.1 points at 3900 by mid-morning after yesterday’s 4% rise.
