AlQa'dah 02, 1436, August 17, 2015, SPA -- Britain's top share index steadied on Monday following a week of losses, although continued weakness in metals prices saw mining shares touch multi-year lows, Reuters reported. Britain's FTSE 100 was down 2.60 points, flat in percentage terms, at 6,548.14 by 1136 GMT. It fell 2.5 percent last week as commodity prices dropped after China devalued its currency. The fall left the index 8 percent away from an all-time high hit in April. Shares in mining companies touched a 6-year low after the price of copper came under renewed pressure. The sector fell as much as 1.6 percent, but recovered to trade only 0.3 percent lower.
