The internationally-focused FTSE 100, of which many listed companies will be exposed to fluctuations in the dollar, closed down 0.5 per cent, breaking a six-day streak of gains.

Shares in Rathbones were up by 1.8 per cent and shares in Investec were 1.6 per cent higher at close. The pan-European Stoxx 600 index rose 0.02 per cent while MSCI’s gauge of stocks across the globe shed 0.11 per cent.Wall Street’s main indexes slipped as evidence of a cooling economy exacerbated worries of a recession with investor bets shifting in favour of a pause in the Federal Reserve’s interest rate hikes in May.

At 11.41am eastern time, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 0.64 per cent; the S&P 500 was down 0.55 per cent; and the Nasdaq Composite was down 0.45 per cent.
