FTSE 100 movers: Brexit bash banks; Miners up on weak greenback
FTSE 100 blue chip shares traded lower as the potential fallout of a UK exit from the European Union spread to the US.
Bank shares were among the major losers in early afternoon trade with Barclays, Royal Bank of Scotland, Lloyds and Standard Chartered all lower.
Financials Aviva and Old Mutual were also down on Brexit fears.
On the positive side miners gained as the dollar weakened and metal prices gained with Randgold, Fresnillo and Glencore all up.
