LONDON (ShareCast) - Miners are keeping Footsie's decline today within reasonable bounds as higher metal prices encourage buyers back into the sector. Kazakhmys, Anglo American and Vedanta lead the risers.

Consumer stocks are taking a pasting on worries over consumer spending after the gloomy assessment of the UK economy from the Bank of England today. It sees little growth for the next two years. Enterprise Inns and Marks & Spencer are suffering most.

LSE is another faller on reports that Turquoise, the new exchange set up by a group of investment banks to challenge existing stock markets, will carry out its first trades this week.
