UK markets make a subdued start to the week as investors worry about the growing prospect of a hung parliament after the election, monetary tightening by China and the threat of a double-dip recession in the housing market.

By 8.30am the FTSE 100 index was seven points adrift at 5,618 and the Mid-250 index eight points firmer at 9,949

Mining shares were the main depressant for the leading index against a background of lacklustre commodity prices.

Kazakhmys at £14,90, Xstrata £11.02 and Randgold Resources £49.49 slipped 12p to 35p.

Profit-taking trimmed 6p from BSkyB at 593p after last Friday's speculative run on privatisation talk and other prominent weak spots included BAT at £22, down 31p and Wolseley, 12p easier at £16.64.

Banks were also a tad easier after Friday's strength with RBS off 0.37p at 42.172p.

BT Group claimed number one spot among the leaders with a rise of 2.80p to 126p, helped by a Citigroup rating upgrade.

Positive broker comment also supported Centrica at 293p, up 3p among firmer utilities, while others to move ahead included Shire at £14.67, William Morrison 297p and Autonomy £1.750, up 2.20p to 18p.
