Nov 8 (Reuters) - Falls for mining stocks and a 4% drop in
Asia-exposed luxury brand Burberry led London's FTSE 100 lower
on Friday, as doubts about a U.S.-China trade deal halted a
five-day winning streak for European markets.
The main index was down 0.6%, while the FTSE 250
, which hit a three-week high on Thursday after two Bank
of England policymakers unexpectedly voted for lower interest
rates, shed 0.5%.
Positive trade signals this week, including a report that an
agreement between China and the United States to roll back
tariffs as part of a "phase one" trade deal was all but done,
had spurred a fresh round of bets on shares.
Some of that optimism faded after sources familiar with the
talks said the plan faced opposition on multiple fronts and
President Donald Trump said he had not agreed to rollbacks of
U.S. tariffs sought by China.
Miners tumbled 2% on their worst day in a
month, while Asia-focused financials Prudential and HSBC
were also among big drags on the main bourse.
While off the week's highs, the FTSE still recorded gains of
nearly 1% for the five days.
A near 20% surge for Warhammer-owner Games Workshop
following upbeat forecasts helped cap losses on the midcap
index, which marked its best week in four.
However, in a sign that worries over Brexit had far from
receded, data from Halifax showed British house prices rose at
their slowest annual pace in 6-1/2 years last month which led
housebuilders lower.
Blue-chips Barratt and Berkeley dipped
2.2% and 1%, respectively.
Lloyd's insurer Beazley advanced 7% after it said
year-to-date returns on investment had surged as falling U.S.
yields boosted gains in its fixed income portfolio.
That followed a dive in shares of bigger rival Hiscox on
Thursday, the latest sign of concerns over a jump in catastrophe
claims due to hurricanes and other natural disasters.
"In the context of widespread concerns about U.S. casualty,
the reminder that Beazley began opening their loss estimates at
a higher level in 2018 is reassuring," Jefferies analysts wrote.
