Weaker energy and property stocks hurt FTSE

By Atul Prakash LONDON (Reuters) - Britain's top share index was led lower on Wednesday by retail and property-related stocks, which extended losses made after Britons voted to leave the European Union, and by a decline in energy stocks as oil prices slipped. The FTSE 100 closed down 1.3 percent, a decline limited by a rally in precious metal miners shares as safe-haven gold hit a two-year peak. The more domestically focused mid-cap FTSE 250 index finished 0.4 percent lower.
