FTSE on the slide
The FTSE 100 Index showed little appetite for finishing the year above 6,000 today, despite some better economic news from the United States.
The last full business session of the year saw the Footsie drop 25.3 points to 5971, but the top flight remains on track to rise by more than 10% across 2010 after a rally in December capped a strong second half to the year.
