<p>Mothercare has fuelled nerves surrounding the retail sector after warning its annual profits will be short of market expectations.</p>
<p>The stock slumped 5% &#8211; down 30.5p to 567.5p &#8211; as it joined Next, HMV and Clinton Cards in highlighting the impact of December&#8217;s snow.</p>
<p>The FTSE 100 Index, which staged a late session fightback on Wednesday to set a new two-and-a-half year high, climbed another 13.3 points to 6057.1.</p>
<p>The risers board was topped by Cambridge-based technology firm ARM Holdings following news that Microsoft&#8217;s new Windows operating system will be able to run using ARM&#8217;s chips. The stock jumped 10%, or 46.1p to 517.5p.</p>
<p>Rolls-Royce was another strong riser, up 15p to 669p after it completed contracts for Trent 900 and Trent 1000 engines to power up to 61 new wide-body aircraft with British Airways.</p>
<p>Outside the top flight, Clinton Cards slumped 3.75p to 24.25p after its latest profits warning, while Halfords dropped 13.3p to 426.7p as investors speculated that its portfolio of out-of-town stores may have struggled in the snow.</p>
<p>Household products maker McBride topped the FTSE 250 Index fallers board after it said its results will be towards the lower end of expectations. Shares were 13.4p lower at 170.4p.</p>
