<p>A strong session on Wall Street failed to trigger more gains in London as a mixed performance from mining stocks pulled the FTSE 100 Index lower.</p>
<p>Continued fears over possible new measures by China to cool economic growth impacted on parts of the resources sector as Antofagasta declined 10p to 1398p and Kazakhmys lost 1% or 17p to 1541p.</p>
<p>The FTSE 100 Index opened the week 0.8% higher but retreated 3.3 points to 5940.3 on Tuesday, despite the Dow Jones Industrial Average finishing almost 1% higher.</p>
<p>One of the most significant moves in the top flight came from BSkyB after the Culture Secretary kept the door ajar for News Corporation&#8217;s planned takeover of the broadcasting giant.</p>
<p>Jeremy Hunt said he was minded to recommend a full investigation by the Competition Commission but before doing so will consider undertakings made by NewsCorp in order to address media plurality concerns.</p>
<p>With the company also due to post strong half-year results on Thursday, BSkyB shares lifted 6p to 756p.</p>
<p>In the FTSE 250 Index, shares in Imperial Leather soap maker PZ Cussons fell 7% after it reported flat half-year profits and said it was cautious about prospects for the full year due to discounting by UK retailers.</p>
<p>Shares were 26.1p lower at 353.1p.</p>
