Markets recover early falls in response to unexpected news that sales rose 0.8% last month. Prices on average were 1.6% higher than a year ago, the biggest jump since May 1998.

Takeover favourite Debenhams hardened 1.75p to 46p, Home Retail 4.5p to 243p and WH Smith 8p to 376p

Overall share prices were well above their early worst, but still drab amid continuing concerns over inflation and the health of financial institutions.

By 10am the FTSE 100 index was 29 points easier at 5,343 while the Mid-250 index was just seven points down at 8,890 after falling to 8,787.

In Germany the DAX was trailing 80 points lower.

Higher commodity prices sustained the oil and mining sectors with Eurasian Natural Resources 43p higher at £1070 after bumper earnings.

Other prominent gainers were Tullow Oil at 778p, Amec 805p, Anglo American £28.19, Rio Tinto £50.55 and BG Group £11.52, up 10p to 77p.

Standard Life attracted support at 74p, up 6.75p
