* Mid-cap SIG plummets after profit warning
Oct 7 (Reuters) - London's FTSE 100 fell further on Monday,
with markets unable to dispel broader growth fears that had
dragged the index to its worst week in nearly a year, while
mid-cap SIG slumped to a near three-year low after a profit
warning.
The main index, which shed more than 3.6% last week
on fears of a global economic slowdown and the risk of a
recession, gave up another 0.3% by 0707 GMT. The mid-cap FTSE
250 edged 0.2% lower.
Building materials supplier SIG tanked 26% after it
forecast significantly lower annual profit in its specialist
distribution and roofing merchanting businesses due to weaker
construction activity in Germany and the UK.
