Stocks end flat after seesaw session
After swinging between gains and losses throughout the day, UK stocks finished virtually unchanged on Tuesday as pleasing updates from BP (BP.), Melrose (MRO) and Direct Line (DLG) were offset by a profit slump at Diageo (DGE).
At 4.35pm the benchmark FTSE 100 index was down 5 points or 0.08% at 6,028, just about holding above the 6,000 level.
