FTSE 100 dips slightly in early trading

FTSE 100 dips slightly in early trading
The FTSE 100 opened down over half a per cent on Friday morning.

At 09:30 GMT the London index stood at 5,279.48, a drop of 33.52 points – 0.63 per cent.

Leading the falls was Hammerson, down 14.70 points to 403.40p. Continuing its unpredictable week, the Royal Bank of Scotland also saw its stock drop 3.07 per cent on opening, down to 34.05.

The drop by RBS follows gains of over four-and-a-half per cent yesterday. The bank has suffered a turbulent week with the row over banker's bonuses continuing to rumble on with the board still sticking to its threat to quit if payments are not made.

Leading the gains on Friday morning was British Airways, up 1.65 per cent, 3.40 points, to 209.60p.ADNFCR-708-ID-19495132-ADNFCR
