FTSE gives up positive start
The FTSE 100 Index surrendered a positive start today after a broker downgrade for Lloyds Banking Group sparked a fresh slump in banking shares.
Lloyds was down 8% or 6.5p to 73.2p after Credit Suisse lowered Lloyds to underperform and Royal Bank of Scotland confirmed it was now 70% in the hands of the British government.
