The FTSE 100 stabilised in early morning trading as investors' digested yesterday's slump, which was the steepest for the index since the Sept 11 terrorist attacks.
The index dropped sharply to 5441.1 at the open hours after all of Asia's major stock markets plummeted, continuing the bloodbath in share prices that saw London's FTSE 100 yesterday suffer its biggest one-day fall since the 9/11 terror attacks.
