FTSE slips on opening (AFP)

LONDON (AFP) – London's leading stock market fell slightly in opening trade after strong advances yesterday as investors awaited US jobs data.

The FTSE 100 index fell 0.6 percent at 5,764.17 points in early deals.

Overnight in Tokyo the Nikkei rose 9.80 points to 10,178.32 after a strong showing on Wall Street as the European Central Bank eased eurozone worries by extending stimulus measures.

But gains were expected to be limited with the bank's move largely priced in and investors sticking to the sidelines ahead of US jobs data later Friday.
