FTSE 100 slips on oil drag, B&M jumps on talk of turnaround
London stocks edged lower Wednesday after oil prices rose again and Middle East tension returned. The FTSE 100 shed 21.94 points, or 0.21%, to 10,351.57. The FTSE 250 lost 0.19% to 23,334.29. Gains in B&M and Howden Joinery were not enough to hold the indexes up, according to LSEG delayed data.
