* Miners, HSBC slip as trade uncertainty prevails
* British Airways owner falls after cutting forecast
Nov 8 (Reuters) - A 3% drop in British Airways owner IAG
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 0.4% in early trade, with
miners and Asia-focused bank HSBC also
down after a report that Beijing and Washington's "phase one"
trade deal faced opposition on multiple fronts.
The FTSE 250, up more than 1% to a three-week high a
on Thursday after two Bank of England policymakers unexpectedly
voted for lower interest rates, also shed 0.4%.
