<p>The FTSE 100 Index has slipped below the 6,000 barrier as investors remained on the sidelines ahead of closely-watched US employment figures.</p>
<p>The shares wobble, which first materialised on Thursday afternoon, meant the top flight lost another 37.6 points to stand at 5982.8.</p>
<p>With the US jobs figures fuelling uncertainty, miners retreated with Kazakhmys down 29p at 1590p and Antofagasta off 35p at 1503p.</p>
<p>Arm Holdings, which was Thursday&#8217;s big riser after Microsoft said it would run the latest version of its Windows software on Arm&#8217;s microchips, gave back some of the gains to stand 22.9p lower at 459.1p, a drop of almost 5%.</p>
<p>One of the bright spots of the session came from the retail sector after JD Sports Fashion maintained its recent run of forecast-beating updates.</p>
<p>Despite the disruption caused by the snow in December, JD said like-for-like sales at its UK stores, which include 350 JD Sports and Size? outlets, were up 2.5% in the last five weeks of 2010. It also revealed that profits for the year to January 28 will exceed City expectations of £75.4 million.</p>
<p>JD shares added another 2% or 23.5p to 889p, while rival Sports Direct International gained 1.2p to 166.1p.</p>
