London’s FTSE 100 erased early gains to end lower as losses in miners eclipsed the rise in energy stocks. After rising as much as 0.9 per cent, the FTSE 100 ended 0.1 per cent lower as base metal miners declined, tracking weakness in copper prices. The FTSE 100 posted a 1 per cent weekly gain, recovering some of last week’s losses aided by a 6 per cent weekly jump in energy stocks. The domestically focused mid-cap index fell 0.3 per cent, down due to weakness in communication services and healthcare stocks.
