Tuesday 9th March 2010

Britain's leading shares index the FTSE 100 saw only minor changes in early trade on Tuesday morning.

At 09:15 GMT the FTSE had lost just 0.27 per cent, down 15.01 points, after closing at 5,600 for the first time since September 2008 at close of trade on Monday.

An 18-month high achieved on the UK's leading shares index last night was driven by oil stocks and miners.

Major fallers on the shares index were Liberty International, which lost 2.67 per cent, with Inmarsat, Imperial Tobacco Group and Fresnillo also losing out in early trade. ADNFCR-1783-ID-19657402-ADNFCR
