<p>The FTSE 100 Index has pulled back after strong gains the previous session as commodity stocks lost their shine.</p>
<p>London&#8217;s top tier eased back by 6.2 points to 5802.2 as a stronger US dollar hit energy and metal prices, sending heavily-weighted miners lower.</p>
<p>Lakeside owner Capital Shopping Centres was top of the fallers board after takeover suitor and major investor Simon Property said it will vote against Capital&#8217;s planned acquisition of Manchester&#8217;s Trafford shopping mall.</p>
<p>It added it was still interested in buying Capital, but threatened to drop any potential offer unless it was allowed to carry out due diligence.</p>
<p>Shares in Capital fell 4%, or 15.2p to 392.8p.</p>
<p>Corporate earnings provided the focus in the FTSE 250, with transport firm Stagecoach and Comet parent Kesa Electricals in the red after interim results.</p>
<p>Kesa was down 2.1p to 169.8p as news of a 10% slump in second quarter sales at UK chain Comet overshadowed strong profits growth across the wider group.</p>
<p>Bus and rail group Stagecoach reported a 44% surge in half-year profits in a return to top line growth, but slipped 1.7p to 213.3p as shares eased back after gains in recent weeks.</p>
