Britain’s top share index the FTSE 100 shed billions of pounds of value on Monday morning, to sit at its lowest level in almost a month after adding to last week’s losses.

It follows overnight sell-offs in Asia, while US stock indices the Dow Jones and S&P 500 are also tipped to tumble when they open later today.
