LONDON (MarketWatch) -- U.K. stocks dropped Tuesday, with the FTSE 100 benchmark turning sharply lower in part on a fresh round of losses for energy-company shares.
The FTSE 100 fell 1.1% to 6,344.26, under pressure as financial, industrial consumer staples and discretionary shares waded in the red. Among those groups, retailer Kingfisher PLC declined 2.9% and Aberdeen Asset Management PLC pulled back 2.5%. Meggit PLC shares gave up 0.6% after the engineering firm said it purchased Precision Engine Controls Corporation for $44.2 million in cash.
Struggling at the bottom of the FTSE 100 was industrial-equipment rental company Ashtead Group PLC , down 7.3% after downgrades for U.S. peer United Rentals Inc. (URI) pushed its shares lower by 11% overnight.
Meanwhile, Tullow Oil PLC shares fell 2.5%, the lead decliner among oil shares as oil futures (CLG5) fell further, hitting their lowest levels in more than five years.
Some miners, however, held to gains after figures from HSBC highlighted resilience in the services sector in China, a key market for metals. The services sector is holding up well in the face of a downturn in manufacturing, "providing some counterweight to the downward pressures on the economy," said HSBC's chief economist for China, Qu Hongbin, in a statement.
Shares of iron-ore producer Anglo American PLC rose 1.5% and Randgold Resources Ltd. gained 1.8%, topping the FTSE 100.
