Debenhams steals limelight with a rise

Market sentiment continued to cool today as the FTSE 100 Index gave up more of the gains seen after last week's stimulus measures from the US Federal Reserve.

London's top flight set a new six-month high on Friday but was off 40.5 points at 5852.9 today as banks and miners drove the benchmark index lower.

Notable fallers included Barclays after a decline of 8.4p to 219.3p, while Royal Bank of Scotland's recent improvement continued to fade from view as the stock fell for a second successive session, off 9.5p to 264.85p.
