Blue chips ended the week in subdued fashion, giving up early gains, as tepid UK economic growth data and a drop in US consumer sentiment weighed on the mood.
The FTSE 100 index closed down 14.29 points, 0.2%, at 9,283.29. It had earlier traded as high as 9,340.7. The FTSE 250 ended 68.35 points lower, 0.3%, at 21,625.40 while the AIM All-Share finished up 1.34 points, 0.2%, at 768.44.
