FTSE 100 down 0.2%

Britain\'s top shares dipped on Wednesday, weighed down by a fall in the value of stocks trading without the attraction of their latest dividend, as investors awaited UK jobs figures, Reuters reported. The FTSE 100 fell 11.11 points, or 0.2 percent, to 6,600.83 points by 0754 GMT, with a hefty 20.39 points taken off the index by stocks trading ex-dividend. UK monthly labour market data, set for release at 0830 GMT, will assume greater significance in light of the move by Mark Carney, governor of the Bank of England, to tie interest rate policy to the unemployment figures. The unemployment rate for June is set to remain unchanged at 7.8 percent, well above Carney\'s 7 percent target.
