The FTSE 100 Index held its position at a two-month high today as investors awaited direction from the latest update on the US economy.
The figure on job creation later today is likely to be the lowest since June, although analysts point out the result will be distorted by superstorm Sandy in October.
Ahead of the update, investors were happy to sit on recent gains and leave the FTSE 100 Index just three points lower at 5898.5.
