<p>The rebound for London shares has come to a halt as investors digested a rally that has lifted the FTSE 100 Index more than 200 points in two days.</p>
<p>Signs of progress in the eurozone debt crisis and improved data from the US economy have helped the euro pull further away from an 11-week low against the dollar while European markets have climbed to near their highs for the year.</p>
<p>As expected, the FTSE 100 Index paused for breath on Friday in a lacklustre trading session, with the top flight 3.4 points lower at 5764.2.</p>
<p>The City has been encouraged by moves from the European Central Bank to delay the withdrawal of emergency liquidity measures.</p>
<p>One of the beneficiaries of the recent improved sentiment has been fashion label Burberry, which extended its recent rally after Seymour Pierce introduced a buy rating on the stock and praised its geographical and product mix. Shares responded with a rise of 15p to 1114p.</p>
<p>In corporate results, shares in pubs group Greene King were steady after it reported a better-than-expected 17% rise in pre-tax profits to £73.1 million and a 4.2% improvement in revenues to £484.1 million.</p>
<p>The company, which climbed 1.6p to 461.6p, also announced plans to fully integrate its Scottish business Belhaven in a bid to save the company £1 million.</p>
