Britain's FTSE pressured by global growth woes
Agencies: London, Nov 15 2012, 15:24 IST
Britain's top share index extended falls on Thursday, mirroring weakness overnight on Wall Street, as persistent worries over growth in the United States and Europe kept investors jittery.
The UK blue chip index was down 27.43 points, or 0.5 percent, at 5,694.58 by 0813 GMT, having dropped 1.1 percent on Wednesday, closing below its 200-day moving average at 5,729.
Resolution was among the top fallers early on, off 5.2 percent, after a downbeat trading update from the life insurer.
