    LONDON - Britain's FTSE 100    stalled near an 
eight-month high on Monday, held back by weak banking shares as

    Commercial banks knocked a combined 8.2 points off the FTSE 
100, which ended up 7.43 points, or 0.1 percent, at 6,836.73

the game maker forecast an annual loss. 
    The Nikkei    ended 0.6 percent lower at 15,641.68

    FOREIGN EXCHANGE  
    LONDON - The euro recovered slightly from a two-month low

euro fell in Asian trading on Monday to its lowest since Nov. 25 
at $1.35080. It later recovered some ground, and was 0.1 percent

    BASE METALS 
    LONDON - Copper dipped in holiday-thinned trade on Monday as 
near-term demand prospects from top consumer China remained 
muted, despite slightly better-than-expected Chinese growth 
data. 
    Three-month copper on the London Metal Exchange    
closed 0.4 percent weaker at $7,314 a tonne. Copper is down some 
0.7 percent so far this year after falling 7.2 percent last

    OIL 
    LONDON - Brent crude fell below $106 per barrel on Monday, 
weighed by data showing China's oil demand growth slowed further 
in 2013 and by news Iran had started implementing a nuclear deal 
with world powers, which could eventually allow more oil 
exports. 
    Brent crude oil for March    was down 57 cents at 
$105.91 a barrel by 1537 GMT. It was on track for its lowest 
close since Nov. 12. The March contract    closed up 73 
cents on Friday. 
    U.S. crude for February delivery    was trading 88 cents 
lower at $93.49 per barrel, after settling up 41 cents at a 
two-week high on Friday.
