Pick of the early morning news

The FTSE 100 took a -0.95% bump yesterday, falling to 5,871 points; Essar Energy and Weir Group took the biggest punches, down -7.5% and -4.49% respectively. However ITV soared 6.77% and Capita rose 2.13%.

Much of the caution yesterday came from the amount of cheap money - €530bn - on offer for struggling financial institutions. Correspondingly the German Dax saw a -0.46% fall.
