London afternoon: Footsie fights to stay ahead

LONDON (SHARECAST) - The leading index has seen gains trimmed as the banking sector relinquishes a little of its advantage, while Wall Street�s start looks like being less spectacular than initially expected. Investors continue to shrug off credit crunch fears, which had resurfaced after buy-to-let mortgage specialist Paragon revealed it has run into funding difficulties. The troubled firm saw its shares almost halve after it put in place facilities for an underwritten rights issue to raise �280m because terms offered to renew a debt facility were "not attractive." Dividends have been suspended until the funding issue is settled. Paragon�s problems pale into virtual insignificance compared with the scale of Northern Rock's difficulties, so it was little surprise when Paragon�s announcement sparked more selling of Northern Rock.
