Continued economic worries move down stocks

The after effects of last Friday's disappointing U.S.jobs numbers and fears about the health of Hungary and other European economies are moving stocks down this morning. The FTSE 100 is currently down 73 points to 5,051 and Dow futures are down a further 40 points to 9,897. Commodity stocks are baring the brunt of the pain with metal prices falling heavily - Kazakhmys (KAZ) is down 3.5% at £10.80 and Aquarius Platinum (AQP) is down 5% to £3.41.

BP (BP.) moved against the trend with a 5p rise to £4.38 as they reported some success in stemming the flow of oil from the damaged well in the Gulf of Mexico.
